3/19/2012

Dear God,
  I thank you that you have kept me through this night.  I will confess that I am sometimes filled with fear and dread at the thought of sleep, and yet my body slips so willingly into slumber--perhaps it is reminding me that I should trust you more.  You watch over me every night and day, and for that I give you thanks--without your gracious outpouring, I would not survive another minute.  I pray, Lord, that your Spirit gives me the wisdom to follow you today.  I cannot say I always do so well, but I continue to come back in repentance, asking for grace and for strength to live as your child on this day.  Forgive me for the areas in which I have failed, and strengthen me to live in your service on this and every day.

Amen
