Dearest God,

Besides the words grace, hope, love, and faith, the next best word for me is transformation.  I love the whole idea of transformation, the change process of what is to what can be.  I love the ability to recreate, remake, reshape, and reconfigure.  I adore the belief that we are made to be changeable, to be changed, and transformed.  What it means for me personally is I am not made to be the way I am for the rest of my life.  I can change now or tomorrow or a week from now or even next year.  And the wonderful blessing is you give me the desire and power to change me.

When you make me aware of something about myself that needs alteration, I may not always be wild about the need to change.  However, when I know you are the initiator for my change, I take refuge in your merciful care.  I may have to ponder the need to be reformed but when I am assured of your desire to do something new in me, I find I am charged with hope and love that leads me to faith that will help me make the transition.  My challenge is to trust you every time.

Caring and Compassionate God,
remake me daily
in your image.
Guide me
toward every change
you want
in me.
Show me
the way,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
