You are love. You are energy. You are the connections between your children. You are motive force. You are the organizing principle of the world, all I see. You are totality.

Lord, if this is so, then so, too, are these things you.

Love is God – let me give love and so pass on your essence.

Energy is God – let me be a dynamo today, spreading you among others through my efforts.

All is God – let me see you in everything, even the small, the worn, the worldly, the filthy.

God, be my oasis today, and so let this oasis I build become you.

Visit me. Visit us.

(Letter #1,925)

Nothing has changed; everything has changed. I survey the rooms of my thoughts, my inner life. Where there were shadows there is light. Exhaustion gives way to energy.

Where is the reason? There is nothing to point to. These inner winds, blowing hot and cold, bear no relation to what is outside the door.

You have entered my thinking, Lord. O! Remain with me.

Let me welcome you.

(Letter #1,924)

You are unveiling a gift; grant me patience.

Today I see only a portion. What I see, I do not know if I will like.

When the covering of the world is removed, it will shine as a diamond.

Lord, grant me patience.

(Letter #1,923)

All these challenges that I face – which of them cannot I do? These are the ones where I need you most, Lord.

These other things, simply difficulties, frustrations – let me look upon them with equanimity.

The tasks for which I am unequal, let these be my prayers to you.

Lord, rescue me. Lord, help me do what I cannot.

(Letter #1,922)
