Let me make ready to meet you. Let me approach this day, each moment, as if it were final.

How will I be judged if this day is the only one? How must I act, if there be no tomorrow? Let that, then, be my way: accepting of today’s judgment.

(Letter #1,720)

Moment by moment, deliver to me miracles. In the face of impossibility, let me trust you yet more deeply.

Thank you for all you are doing for me, invisibly and unnoticed. Let me have gratitude in greater measure as it unfolds.

(Letter #1,719)

Let me have no reservations. If I am to improve, let me be wholehearted.

I walk along a steep ridge. Let me not topple due to inattentive steps. Let the wind blow away my self-delusions.

Let me see myself honestly, in a clear light, Lord. Grant me sight.

(Letter #1,718)

Let me draw nearer to you.

Here my wordless prayer as I crawl toward you. Help me stand, raise my chin, set me walking.

Approach me, Lord, as I approach you. Meet me.

(Letter #1,717)
