Dear God,
You know that I was cast down in my feelings this morning—all from a disappointment. I waited for a phone call that had been promised and never came. But the time has passed now, and I am putting all of this behind me. I only wish that I had recovered more quickly.
I did turn to You, but You did not seem close to me. I didn’t feel the warmth that I usually feel when I pray. Why were You so distant?
I think You knew my ego was involved, and You didn’t want to support egoism. Now I am, I hope, back on track with You. Let’s be close again.
Thank You for listening to me, even in my distress.
Amen.
