Dearest God,

I have been lost, wandering in a lonely desert of sorrow, grief and pain.  At times I didn't think I could survive and yet I have.  It is during these times that I remember the net that is always beneath us waiting to catch us while in our distress.

I realize this is not wasted time.  There are lessons here.  I can't see them quite yet, but I know that trust will keep me connected to you.  Although I have to do the hard work, you are already at work within me.  I am not on this journey alone.  You are keeping my feet grounded, my heart held and my soul stirred.  There are treasures to be discovered, even gifts that will save me.  

As I live in this waiting time, may I give you joy, O God.

You are

my God;

I do

not exist

without you.

You are

the best part

of me.

May I

bring glory

to your name.

Love, Andrea
