Dear God,

On occasion fears and anxieties will plague me during the night.  My mind gets stirred up and I can't sleep.  Especially if alone, I imagine crazy scenarios of my not being safe.  Finally, I rise from my bed and go on about my day.

It is when dawn comes that I see my fear in the light of day for what they are, absurdities when I trust in you.  I realize then that the light is my strength and hope.  My fears fade in the light because I remember you are the Light of the World.  When anything is seen in your light, we see there is nothing that cannot be overcome with your power.  Fear fizzles when light comes.  

Thank you

for the blessing

of light,

for its warmth,

its truth

and its beauty.

Thank you

for gentle reminders

that you whisper

during the

dark night.

Remind us always

to remain close

to you.

Yours, Andrea
