Tuesday morning

Lord - You and I - we have a history.
You have always given bread for the coming day;
and though I face financial constraints, today I believe.
You have always given strength for the coming day;
and though I am weak and anxious in the wake of this new day, today I believe.
You have always given peace for the coming day;
You have always kept me safe in trials
even when I thought I would be overcome at any moment;
and now, tried as I am, today I believe.
You have always marked the road for the coming day;
and though it may be hidden and I am desperate to hear what you think about my
scheduled meetings and interviews , today I believe.
You have always lightened this darkness of mine; and though the night is here
and I can simply not see a way out or around it, today I believe.
You have always spoken when time was ripe; and though you be silent now and the world might think I am a looney wanting to hear voices, today I believe.
Lord, there is nothing I desire more than your presence, your smile, your love.
Today, even if I do not see or hear or feel you,
I believe because we have a history.

Amen
