Dear God,

You know the desire of our hearts, Merciful God. You tend to our desire to love and help others. As I considered the people of Haiti, I opened an e-mail and found a way to help. Making health kits that could be distributed to hurting people could help alleviate a small part of their suffering. While I was thinking of how I could mobilize people to help, a friend called and told me about a medical person who will arrive in Haiti on February 5. That one call led to another until I found a way to help paramedics who are leaving on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

When I trust you to lead my life, show me the way, doors and windows open. Visions come, soft murmurings ring in my ears. If I am truly attentive and willing, I can step into the vision and walk with you.

Lead me, Lord,
to a
greater life
of faith.
Show me
the ways
to help
my earth family,
strangers and friends,
who need
your compassionate care.
I am not
my own,
but yours,
Great God;
use me
for your purpose.

Love, Andrea
