Dear Amanda,

Today, I woke up with a weary and heavy heart feeling unlike any other day. There’s a gaping hole within me, searching for something to fill it up. Amanda, these times have been harsh. The more I’ve sought fulfillment, the wearier I’ve become. Today, like many other days, I felt a cold longing, simply yearning to pour out my thoughts to the Lord.

You may wonder why I’m reaching out to you like this. It’s because perhaps you, too, are experiencing droughts or yearning for restoration and reconnection with the supreme God. If this resonates with you, Amanda, my prayer, as penned in my journal today, might be the prayer you need to utter.
