In the early dark.

I already have a mood, how can this be? Nothing yet has happened.

My response is a cloud of mist, forming and then dissipating.

Grant me new awareness, Lord. A fresh outlook is always available.

The day is potential.

(Letter #3,935)

You have made me for this day. Will I be enough?

It was so yesterday, and the day before. Why not today?

As I accept myself, so do I accept you, Lord.

Soothe myb worries, Lord. You are sufficient unto the day, then so must I be.

(Letter #3,934)

I doubt; help me in my disbelief. These trials press in. Lift me up out of this box canyon.

Lord, point me toward the way of overcoming. Take away the doubt, and let me soar.

My fellows who cower in fear, the ones pressed down, the ones threatened by the mob: let them see my flight and have hope.

(Letter #3,933)

Hear me, in my silence. I need not even speak, and you know my needs.

Shadows encroach; can I block them out by barring the door? They come nonetheless.

Only light can fight away the shadows. Come, Lord, light a candle for me.

(Letter #3,932)
