Each day a puzzle to be solved.

Each challenge a trial.

Each critic an enemy.

Lord, I see the world wrongly. All is well, so let me see the world as so. These troubles are momentary and light.

If there be a stone in my path, let me simply walk around it. This road leads up nonetheless.

(Letter #2,013)

Let me better depend upon you.

Let me seek your guidance and help first, before all.

Let me remember I face nothing alone.

You clear the way, you have given me all I need. Let me do your will.

(Letter #2,012)

O, what gifts will be delivered to me today?

Grant me the energy to see the rainbows painted across the sky; my neck has been too long bent, my gaze too long earthward.

(Letter #2,011)

I peer out from behind the door. What gathering forces will assail me? What storm will destroy the barn?

Everywhere I look, I see catastrophe. Let me see with brighter eyes. The rain is past, the crowds are here to celebrate. Why do I not see the joy around me, within even my home?

Let me accept help today, Lord. Open my eyes.

(Letter #2,010)
