 Dear God, 

This afternoon I listened to music and just wept.  It was classical music, country tunes and songs performed by unlikely contestants on The Voice and You've Got Talent.  While the music genre changed over and over again, what did not change was the way your spirit sunk down deep in my weary soul.  I heard you over the musical notes and sounds, whispering your words of peace and hope and thanksgiving.

I didn't realize how much I needed a respite from the worries of this life.  It was only when the tears began to fill and spill that I recognized how full my soul was of anxiety, fear, doubt, sorrow and anger.  I desperately needed a release, a surrendering of all that plagued me.  And when the music suddenly came when I inadvertently clicked on a friend's Facebook page, I let it come.  I let it penetrate my body, mind and spirit.  I was open, so very open to your touch.  So I let go, really let go.  And when I was empty, you filled me with you.

Bless you, Lord,

for knowing

my needs

before I

knew them.

Thank you

for time

to release,

let go

and drink in.

You are God;

thank you.

Love, Andrea
