Dear God,

It is the cry of my heart..."Take us to deep, deep places where all we can see is you."  Lord, I confess my own inner battle between judgement and grace, hatred and love and death and life.  More than anything I want to rise up above the battle, the fray, I want to see heaven and find you leading and directing me higher and higher.  O Lord, I want to go to deep, deep places and there find you.

I find so much wrong with this world where people are being fed lies and they are believing them, where people believe Covid is nothing so unvaccinated, they are on ventilators lying in hospitals where they may or may not live and where politicians will do or say anything to get a vote, how can I not be angry where I see so much corruption?  At the same time, I hear your whisper that all are beloved.  How do I live in the midst of this world with hope, trust, love, grace and forgiveness?

The song Deep, Deep Places was found by a covenant friend who recommended it to me so I sing along, "Take us to deep, deep places where all we can see is you..."

Holy, Living God,

deep places

that is what

I want.

I want you.

I want you

to lift me up

so I

can see you.

But also,

Loving God,

I too want

to be loving

like you.

In spite

of all,

I want

to love

all your children.

Help me, please.

Love, Andrea
