Dear God,

Today I was reminded again how important it is to grow faith and trust in you.  As I faced my fear of flying once again, I realized how critical it is to face our fears with faith.  With storms erupting from unusably high temperatures across the country and a hurricane forming in the Atlantic, I knew it was going to be a bumpy ride from Orlando, Florida to Boston, Massachusetts.  I got on the plane praying.

As we hit the first of many bumps, I affirmed my faith in you, Almighty God.  "The Lord is my shepherd."  I quietly proclaimed.  "I am your little lamb, Loving God; you are my shepherd."  For two and a half hours, I repeated these words and when I was not whispering these, I spoke, "Thank you, Lord; thank you, thank you, thank you."  

For me turning to you when I am afraid, anxious or troubled brings solace and comfort.  It does not cure me, rather it keeps me at your feet sharing my pleas and praise.  For that I am exceedingly grateful.  

Holy and Living God,

thank you

for being

my hope.

Thank you

for your generosity.

Thank you

for holding me

while I grew

in faith.

Love, Andrea
