Dearest God,

Quiet times with you, these are the favorite moments of my day.  Waking up in your presence, giving thanks for the gifts all around me and sitting down with my circle of friends who are authors of many books I use for morning devotional reading bless me immeasurably.  My time in silence, reading, prayer, contemplation and thanksgiving center me as I attempt to live a life worthy of a meaningful relationship with you.

As I breathe in the air of silence, I actually breathe in your living presence.  For I want to have you not only on the outside of me but in my inner space as well.  I want the whole of me to be in living relationship with you.  Mornings like today enable and equip me to daily walk beside you.

When I consider these quiet morning exercises, I realize how blessed I am and what is required of me as I walk the pilgrim walk.  I often fail, fall or stumble but my heart always belongs to you.

Blessed are you,
Good and Loving God.
Thank you
for making time
with me.
Thank you
for the
wondrous gift
of faith.

Love, Andrea
