The day contains all I need.

The journey is exactly the right length.

All is well in this garden, Lord. All will be well.

(Letter #2,597)

At the bitter end of a box canyon, you built me a trail up and out.

In a bare room with one bulb, comes a door.

I thought the river had dried up, but it had only shifted course. Cool water appeared steps away from my old wading spot.

Supply, providence, rescue – never from where I would have thought.

You are the Lord of surprise! Let me sigh with gratitude.

(Letter #2,596)

Inside: fear, doubt, selfish worry.

Outside: storm, calamity, vexation.

The truth: all is well, within and without. All will be well.

Lord, you are a great wind, blow through and leave me clean.

All is well. All will be well.

(Letter #2,595)

Fearful of coming weather, I plead for shelter even as the sun shines.

Tomorrow is payday, yet today I worry over scraps.

O Lord, come inside and crack my flinty heart, unleash warmth. Impossible miracles are here already, and tomorrow will bring new delights.

(Letter #2,594)

Is the world a puzzle to be solved? A battle to be waged? A test? A thief?

My days are filled with gift upon gift, even as I fail to notice the piles of treasure growing around me.

The treasure, these gifts: well-being, purpose, joy, love. Ease.

Let care drop from my shoulders, Lord, let me become aware of my wealth.

(Letter #2,593)

As hard as my body is pressed down, the ground holds me up equally.

Are you my support, Lord, or are you the force that keeps me from flying away?

Even this weight is a gift.

(Letter #2,592)

Is my day to be filled with burden and woe?

What I thought would bring despair, instead brings joy.

All is well, already well, always well.

(Letter #2,591)

Are you watching over me?

Are you protecting me?

Am I to meet joy?

Guide my feet, O Lord.

(Letter #2,590)

Move me to where you would have me.

I am a leaf in wind. The slightest gust will send me away.

Eventually the leaf comes to rest in a pile with its fellows.

Let me come to rest, Lord.

(Letter #2,589)

Today, let me be –

Simple

Humble

Honest

Willing

Grateful

Thy will be done today, Lord.

(Letter #2,588)
