Dear God,

Today you taught me a very valuable lesson.  If we have experienced a painful moment in life which remains unresolved, we stand at an intersection of hope and despair.  If we choose despair, then daily we can make the case to rip off a healing scab so we can feel the pain again and again and again.  We can sustain feelings of hopelessness and despair.  And we can remain there as long as we desire.  Or we can choose the road to hope by doing something different.

When we choose hope, we can begin by falling on our knees before you asking for help and comfort.  As we lay at your feet, we can feed on your compassionate care.  We can deepen our trust in you acknowledging your power and presence to aid us in our healing.  As we drink from your well and eat from your hand, we will draw strength and purpose.  We can discover courage and confidence to make healing possible within us.  The truth is all things are not always resolvable to our liking.  Therefore, healing is up to us.  We can decide to heal with your almighty and tender care.

Why would we do any less?

Holy God,

continuing care.

healing possible!

Yours, Andrea
