What is left to thank you for, amidst such darkness?

The pathway forks in my own thoughts. One direction leads to despair. One ascends. Along this path are gestures of care, treasure bestowed even in chaos.

Lord, I need you moment to moment. Like I never have.

Be with me today.

(Letter #1,895)

My thoughts are so tangled with emotion. My deepest desire is for relief from worry and fear.

Yet these feelings will pass of their own accord. Why ask for their removal as I would seek a miracle of intercession?

Lord, let my prayers to you be worthy. Let me seek to spread news of your love, to help others who bear burdens.

Let my feelings come and go, unheeded.

(Letter #1,894)

What shall I pass along today?

Let it be the courage brought by peace.

Let it be the strength brought by acceptance.

Even in trial you sustain me, Lord.

Let me pass on the knowledge of your love.

(Letter #1,893)

The path you have laid out is clear; let me walk it, Lord, without grumbling.

(Letter #1,892)
