Dear God,

Where do heaven and earth meet? What kind of line is there between these two different states? How does a person intentionally move from one to the other? How do we stay in a perpetual relationship with you moving easily from the farthest locations in the cosmos?

I never want to walk without you in my daily life. I want to be purposeful about my life, leaning on you, walking with you, listening to you, and following your daily whispers. There are times when I feel very close and other times I feel farther away as if I am a long way off. Is there a loyalty, a commitment, a declaration one can make to remain close, to breathe the same air, and to daily live the challenges of faith?

You have afforded me numerous experiences of spirit life. These occasions of the divine-human connection have been landmarks, defining moments, and turning points in my existence. Many have been miracle moments, situations that I could not possibly have manufactured. Minute details in the transforming process have inspired me beyond my wildest imagination. You have entrusted me with spiritual truths, developing faith, and miracles in the making. At times I have been overwhelmed with your endless grace.

Teach me more
about you,
Living God;
show me
the real way
of faith.
Shorten the distance
between us
so I may
wander this lifetime
with you.
Make me ready
and willing
to do whatever
you ask,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
