Dear God,

You are always at work within us.  As our covenant group prepares for retreat, you are asking hard questions.  The answers are even more difficult.  Yet, when our hearts beat in rhythm with yours, we want the questions and the answers.

Bitterness is the work you are taking on inside me.  Years of resentment has left me dry and brittle around certain issues and people.  A blot on my soul, a smudge in my heart means I can't receive the fullness of your love because there is too much else in there.  You want to change all that.

I am listening to your questions, Lord; I want them.  Speak and I will listen!

You go

to the 

farthest corners

of our soul

to speak words

of challenge

and healing.

You invite us

into you.

You tell us

to not

be afraid,

to trust you.

Your desire

to give

what we need

exceeds everything

we use

to keep

healing away.

Thank you,

Blessed God,

for I

am getting ready

for you.

Love always, Andrea
