Dear God,

When I sit with my circle of friends each morning, it is like they become living beings.  Right now they are St. Augustine, the psalmist, St. Paul, Mother Teresa, Isaiah, the prophet, Philip Keller and Mark Link. In their writings, each has much to say about faith, doubt, anxiety, hope, trust, courage and so much more.  They have become friends as I listened to their words of insight and wisdom.

I could never have imagined I would read so many devotional books at the same time.  A few pages, a chapter or a single psalm blesses my soul so much.  It is as if everyone has a say on the topic I am thinking about or contemplating.  I am learning from them in addition to being challenged.  Their words are not so many letters on a paper but rather living words made flesh.

You are God;

there is none

like you.

Thank you

for the blessing,

O God.

I pray

someday I too

will have something

of significance

to share.

Love, Andrea
