Dear God,

Rest...blessed rest, the time of refreshment, restoration and renewal.  After weeks of hard work trying to get my home back in order after a chipmunk invaded my home and time with family, this morning I was so exhausted, I simply could not go any further.  All I wanted to do was cry and release all the pent-up feelings from my trip home that went awry, all the painful behaviors at church and the countless ways our national leaders are failing our country and world.

I decided to spend most of the day in bed, resting, allowing each muscle, bone and sinew time to recuperate.  I let my mind quiet itself.  I drank from your hand.  The taste of living water was like no other.  I ate the food of faith and dwelt in your presence. 

You know
what we need
when we
need it,
Holy Father.
You care
for us
in wondrous ways.
Thank you,
Beloved God,
thank you.

Always, Andrea
