Dear God,

I wish the work I do on my home could translate into work I do on myself!  Preparing to leave for home in Indiana, I am cleaning windowsills, floors (mopping and waxing on my hands and knees) counters, refrigerator and anything that needs regular cleaning.  I have really let it go while I spent a month home canning fruits and vegetables.  So much work to do in a small amount of time!  Whew!

I am certain there is much more work needed on my soul, O God.  You know better than I.  Please give me the same intent to clean and declutter my spirit from all unwanted, unnecessary and "unwhatever" clings to me.  I want to rid myself of everything that keeps me from being my best self for you and others.  I want to be light and love and mercy and faith and peace but often I am darkness, judgement, unkindness, selfishness and critical.  Yes, indeed I need a spiritual and emotional and psychological clean up.  Help me, O God, I pray.

Blessed are you,

Creative God.

No one

can restore,

renew and reshape

like you.

I trust you.

Open my spirit

to your

cleaning power,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
