Dear God,

Keep me close. May I wander in the world today reflecting upon your promise of glorious presence. May I know I am never alone. May I reflect your light and grace. May I mirror what I know in my heart and spirit to be the One true God.

In this changing time may I know that some things never change: the constancy of your love, the possibility of your peace, the glorious hope in Christ, the power of your spirit for every day living.

Wondrous Living God,
I long
to sit at your feet,
to breathe in
the air
of spirit expectancy.
My little world
created by my own hands
is small
and tempted by fear.
But yours
is wide open,
as wide
as the plains,
as expansive
as the skies
over the plains
and beyond.
Beautiful Savior,
you have rescued me
from the deep
once again.
You have shown me
the way
to divine trust.
You have pointed me
in the right direction.
I have walked
the sacred path
in time of temptation,
of fear
and anguish.
You have shown me
the better way.
Leaning, leaning
into you
is what my heart desires.
Let my heart
join your rhythm,
my feet too.
Let me stand
at the intersection
of faith
and call
your name.

Loving you, Andrea
