Align my thoughts and deeds, Lord.

What good if I do no harm, yet harbor malice inside? What good if my labor is diligent, yet inside I pine for idle hours?

The world sees my actions but you, Lord, see my inner life.

Let me become more than my deeds.

(Letter #3,462)

Are my prayers worthy of your power, Lord?

You move mountains, and crumble hillsides into the sea. Yet I ask for such minor things. Release from worry. Trials overcome. Small joy.

Let me seek what you can give.

(Letter #3,461)

Two green shoots. The sun shines equally upon them. One’s growth does not take away the other’s.

Let me share the sun today, Lord.

(Letter #3,460)

I wonder — what is your will for me today, Lord?

Yet is it not obvious? The path winds forward; I need but walk it. All will be provided.

And yet I tie my thinking on knots. Untangle me, Lord, and let me walk under your will.

(Letter #3,459)
