Dear God,

Empty, I found an empty space inside myself.  All day I felt empty until I realized how emptiness can lead to a fullness of faith.

I let go, released what was causing anxiety, fear, and anger.  Although I wanted to hold on to who and what I was holding onto, I came to understand that sometimes we just have to let go so we do not drown.  As I finally said no and let go, I felt a release, a sad one but still a release.  Only then could I be filled up with you.

You lead us
to empty ourselves
of all
that holds us back
from the
full life
of faith
you want
for us.
Although emptiness
feels like
all is loss,
it is
just the beginning
of being
full of faith.
Thank you.

Love, Andrea
