Dear God, I feel expectant. Something positive will happen. I feel it in the air. I have no evidence, yet I have optimism.
Lord, let me hold to such attitudes. It is easy, too easy, for me to expect and plan for calamity. So often, my worries overtake me, yet the things I fear rarely come to pass.
Instead, my more typical experience is that gifts show up. Sometimes this consists of nothing more than having unexpected strength – but other times I see clear miracles all around me.
Lord, my experience is that you support me. Let me trust this will ever be so. That today will be no different than all the other days. I am a loved child. Let me live gratitude.
(Letter #883)
