Dear God,

I love the daily rhythms of life. In the early morning hours as the sun begins to raise its head above the horizon, my inner clock tells me it’s time to awaken. As I begin to stir, I sense your divine presence alive inside me. I break out into prayer even without opening my eyes. My center cries out in praise and thanksgiving.

As the day wears on, my senses come to life. Gentle nudges heighten my awareness that I am hungry and thirsty. As I feed my hunger and am satisfied, I feel the need to go to the bathroom to allow my body to empty itself of toxins. All day long I hear the rhythmic calls to live in an intentional, methodical manner.

As the minutes tick away, I sense your gifts revealed: hope, peace, love, faith, truth, joy, grace, and beauty. As I feel each one unfold, I listen to my inner urgings to pray again, to express my gratitude. I become so aware of your deliberate movements that all I can do is live in thankfulness.

As the sun sets bringing the day to its natural conclusion, my body feels its own weariness and I know it is time to rest my body and my mind. As I listen to the call, I am led once again to pray as I consider the many benefits of the day and am grateful.

O Lord,
you are God
of the cosmos.
Your power
has touched
my life today
and caused me
to live
in your rhythm.
Let my praise
always be
in tune
with your
sacred rhythm.

Love always, Andrea
