Dear God,

Every day we have to decide if we are going to open the door to hope. We can swing the door wide or just open it a crack.  No matter hope will have a chance to enter into our lives on that new day.

Doubt, despondency and despair can block our door.  Coming in all forms, they quite literally can rob us of any way to rise from our bed.  They are destructive and deadly.  But they do not have to have the final word.

Hope by its nature spreads seeds of new life.  It says just trust me for a while.  Just when we think the darkness will never lift, light will come.  It may not bring everything we want but light is light that warms, comforts and gives us another chance to see and experience something more.  Just a tiny bit of hope can bring more hope with it.

Dear God,

we all

want hope.

We want

to live lives

where death

and despair

do not rule.

Help us

find our way

to open

the door.

Yours, Andrea
