Prayer to God: Trust

A Christmas gift from two granddaughters

 is aiding me on my Lenten path this year.  

They had checked my wish list on Amazon.com 

and saw that my number one wish 

was to have a year's subscription

to the Magnificat magazine 

published by St. Anthony Messenger Press.

Having an interest in the lives of saints,

I ordered Lent with the Saints: Daily Reflections

by Greg Friedman, O.F.M.

Today's reading and suggestion...

(Reflect, then write a petition 

for some special need.)

led to my composing a prayer.

Lord, I ask that my trust in you
grow and bloom
as does the cactus in the desert.
My thirst for faith in you
to be quenched alone
by your Word.
