Hour upon hour stretches before me as dawn begins to peek under the door.
So many times before have I despondently and desperately sought to fill the new day with distraction. Or I enter with plans and proud designs.
Let today be different. Let me live responsively, Lord, myself the empty vessel ready to react.
Like a child with no expectations, let me wander into the world, waiting for my parents to tell me what we will do today.
Truly, Lord, let me seek your will.
(Letter #2,811)
