Dear God,

There is no substitute for surrender.  Broken dreams, false hopes and painful disappointments have only one place to live...at your feet.  When we carry our hurts, fears and mistakes with us, we only accumulate excess baggage that weighs us down, clouds our vision and muddies our ability to think and act wisely.  There is no reason to continue to carry the past.

Every day is fresh and new with you, O God.  You make yesterday yesterday and today a new beginning.  Like a clean blackboard, we can write our new day, new dreams, new thoughts and new possibilities.  As we release what was, we can make room for what can be.

Great and Loving God,

you make

each new day

bright with hope

and potential.

You invite us

to let go

so we

might get on.

Thank you.

Love, Andrea
