KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: Sometimes anger seems so near to the surface of my life. An unwelcome word, the remembrance of a past hurt, a disappointment I had not expected can make my emotions swirl with the force of a small cyclone. Sometimes my heart feels hot, my nerves feel edgy, my mind feels like lit dynamite. And sometimes, I just turn silent, go inward, cut myself off from anything and anyone that could ease the throbbing inside. I hold on to my anger, as if to let it go would render the reason for my anger meaningless. I pray that your great love will burn away my anger and leave me settled in the cool breeze of your presence. Help me let go, not only of the anger, but of what made me angry in the first place. Let me breathe deep the wonder and peace of love. Amen.

God, this was beautiful...The photo, The quote and the Sade track...Loved it!
Beautiful!
Thanks Keith,This put me in such a peaceful frame of mind!
Keith, I tried to comment yesterday, but "something" prevented me from writing that this is truly a beautiful sentiment. Morning by morning we see new mercies and blessings which allow us to begin a new path in the direction that God would lead us. If we go astray, He gently redirects us toward that new ending.
What a beautiful thought!
