Dear God,

Old habits can be changed into new ways of doing things. Today I had a disagreement with someone or at least I saw something different than the other person. In the past I would have jumped to conclusions, been disappointed and then hurt and angry. So would the other person. But instead today I asked questions. I shared my feelings and listened to the feelings of the other. In minutes everything was cleared up. I understood the other and the other understood me. It was wonderful.

I am convinced that some things are hard to change, at times almost impossible. But when you come to us and we become aware and take your lead to function differently, our lives can be transformed. Hope erupts, love enters and joy returns with a divine twist.

Speak to us
of eternity,
O God,
where the resources
of heaven
are put
into our hands.
Nudge us,
challenge us,
even cajole us
to do
your will.
Remind us
where the
true power is.

Love, Andrea
