Dear God,

This morning I awoke to this thought:  "Let go of yesterday in order to make space for today."  Immediately I knew what that meant.  Yesterday's troubles will plague me all day long and steal all my possibility and potential for today if I do not surrender them.  I realized once again how close you are and attentive to us.

And so I am breathing you in today, trying to practice the presence of the Lord in all things like Brother Lawrence of long ago.  I am trusting you for today.  I am anticipating you will challenge me if I drift back to yesterday.  Today, you will say, focus on today.  This is your gift given just in the nick of time.

Holy and Loving God,

I am yours;

I belong

to no other.

We belong together.

Thank you

for the gift

of your spirit,

of your love

and your challenge.

Lead me, Lord,

lead me.

Love, Andrea
