Smell the dawn.

Right road.

Right path.

Bounty, teeming life, unseen.

Steps away, pits and thorns.

Keep me on this path, sweet Lord.

(Letter #2,685)

Let me complete the work you have set for me, Lord.

Pining, seeking change, anticipating relief, sure of oncoming Providence. The sun will shine upon us, without doubt, at dawn.

This is the work. Waiting is the work.

Let perseverance complete its work in me, dear Lord.

(Letter #2,684)

Teach me to be more still.

Teach me to share more love.

Teach me true peace.

Teach me your will, Lord.

(Letter #2,683)

O Lord! In my daily tasks let me have devotion, grace, care.

As I tend the garden let each shovel of soil be an offering.

As I polish the railings, let them gleam in song.

As I make my bed, let me treat the coverings as an altar cloth.

Lord of earth, and also Lord of small things.

Let my small acts matter.

(Letter #2,862)
