Day 82 conversations with God

I prayed, "Lord, are you there?

He answered patiently, "I always am."

I prayed, "God, do I have the strength for another day?"

He replied "With my power you do."

I prayed, "Father, why am I so weak?"

He said, "You try to do everything without me."

I replied slowly, "I know. I must surrender all control to you."
He answered, "That's right."

I said, "I will try harder."

He said, "That's all I need to hear. Go in peace, daughter."
