Dear God,

As we stood to sing on Sunday morning, I saw the light of his face.  My husband and I looked at each other and smiled.

More and more I realize you have the power to revive human lives.  You have the ability to renew, reconcile, and restore fragile, broken relationships.  You can take the leftover remnants of two people and transform them into healthy, strong, and joyous elements that can come together and make something beautiful.  That is certainly what you did for us two years ago this month.

Sometimes I forget how powerful you are.  I forget with your power I can participate in miracles.  I can reconstruct a new life, walk a different path, find hope and courage, and discover a well of joy within me.  I can do old things a new way and feel like a different person.  I can become the woman, wife, mother, grandmother, friend, pastor, leader, and human being you intend and so can others around me.  It is true that all things are possible with you.

Make us
your own,
dear God,
so our joy
can become
your joy.
Let the light
of your love
penetrate the
dark corners
in our souls
so the impossible
can become possible.
Let your will
be done,
then release us
for praise,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
