Dear God,

There are so many ways in which I am weak, O Lord.  I am weak in trust.  I think I can be totally self reliant.  I am in weak in strength.  I can fall so easily.  I am weak in faith.  I like to do things my way.

It is only when I daily sit with my circle of friends, gospel writers, Christian authors, Catholic saints, true disciples and spiritual friends that I am challenged to see the truth.  Every morning as I read and listen, I hear the challenge in their voices and in their faith.  I see their trust in you and I am moved by their faith.  I realize these are those you send to set a fire under us for we can become so self centered that we go back to making our own destiny, charting our own course and walking the path we have created for ourselves.  They stretch me.  They inspire me.  They shift me.  They make me think.  They remind me.  Thank you.

Holy God,
I am yours,
not my own.
Please forgive
my foolish ways.
Make me yours
once again,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
