Dear God,

How can we ever let go enough to be united with you?  As I read about cheap grace and costly grace, I see why and how we have gone so far astray from a deep life of faith.  What will happen to us if we continue on the path we are currently on?

We long for so many things, O Lord.  We want faith but we also want a good job and nice things and good friends and lots of fun.  We want the good life but the good life and the life of faith seem so far off from one another.  As I read and think about my own priorities I realize I am far from a life of true faith.  Yet what faith offers is so much richer, better and lovelier than anything we could possible want from this world.  Why do we cling to cheap substitutes?

Hold us accountable,
dear Lord;
show us
the way,
the path
that leads somewhere,
not nowhere.
Help rid us
of unnecessary junk
in our lives.
Cleanse us,
purify us
for the
walk home,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
