Dearest God,

I haven't preached for years.  I was anxious.  What if I was not faithful to the task?  What if I failed to speak your word for now?

Vanity, vanity, all is vanity, I have heard.  Yet, these last few years I have begun to feel inadequate.  I want to be relevant.  I want to speak a word of hope, encouragement and comfort.  God knows in this crazy world, we all need a word from you, an authentic word of help, faith, peace and joy.

As I stood to speak, my trust in you rose and I took your hand.  Faith surged through my being and I trusted you completely.

Holy God,
you are
the power
behind all things.
Your love
and mercy
go before us.
All we
need do
is trust.
Thank you.

Love, Andrea
