Dear God,

I long for an Autumn heart.  I want to be willing to let go like the trees who hold onto their leaves for as long as possible and then one day they simply let go of what has been part, a beautiful part of them.  Whether red or gold, green or brown, the ugliest or the most beautiful, they simple disengage and surrender.  It is because they know it is time, they know in whose hand the leaf will fall and they know in a few months the process of rebirth will begin again.

Oh, to have that Autumn heart that will trust that much, that will know the time and will release, only to be reborn later.  I want to be like the trees.  I want that much trust.  I want to be willing to surrender instead of holding on forever.  Although painful at times I want to believe and live as though even I can be reborn, again.

Loving Creator,

teach me

the lesson

of trust

once again.

I want

that Autumn heart.

I want

your will

for my life.

Show me

the way,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
