Dear God,

I must admit I tend to sing an old song, one of frustration, pain and sorrow.  Sometimes it swirls around in my head and I get upset all over again even though events happened years ago.  What in the world is wrong with me?

Only you, O God, can give us a new song to sing, a song of hope, peace and renewal.  As we trust in you, you provide resources enabling us to have a desire to sing a new song.  Without desire, no new notes, lyrics or harmonies can appear.  With you, a truly new song can form on our lips.

Help me,

dearest God,

to trust you

for today

and tomorrow.

Although I

cannot rewrite yesterday,

I can find

a way

to pen

a new song

for today.

Lead me,

Merciful God,

to the well

of trust

and faith.

I want

to sing

a new song

for you.

Love, Andrea
