Dear God,

Last night I prayed for many people
and I felt pretty close to you,
even though I knew that 
I have a long way to go... 

But... 
I asked especially for your 
help to get me through the morning.
I can't seem to wake up,
Lord,
and I am not productive with my time...
and I need your help.
I know that I need to take control
of my life,
but it feels so overwhelming
at six o'clock in the morning,
and I need you to be there to help
remind me 
that you are always there,
and that you will be with me...

But,
Lord... 
it didn't happen...
I could not get up this morning... 
the simple task of
getting dressed
and facing my classes
and my professor
simply overwhelmed me.

Lord,
I need your help.
I need your faithfulness...

I am trusting in you 
to remind me that
I am loved,
and that you will not tire
of me, 
as so many have....
I am trusting in you

oh... you just played my song.  *grin*

I will rest in you, Lord...
You are my hope,
my light,
my love...
You are the reason that I am breathing,
and if you were to take 
everything in my life away from me tomorrow,
I would smile,
after some screaming, 
and come to understand that
it is all a part of your
Perfect Will,
and that something that You will have 
ordained is on its way...

I love you so much,
Lord...
Thank you for being with me.

Your daughter,
Meredith
