Dear God,

How deep can faith go?  How long before we reach full love?  How will we know when our connection to you is complete?

I listen to St. Theresa of Lisieux and St. John of the Cross, two saints from centuries ago.  Although they questioned their lack of full devotion, they still have so much to say.  Each morning I sit with them in my devotional time.  I listen to their desires, their knowledge and wisdom and their doubts.  I always find myself lacking.

Holy God,
I want
to deepen
my faith
in you.
I want
to reach
the point
of full love.
Yet, I fail.
Help me,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
