Dearest God,

What is the real cause of growth?  What makes a seed germinate and become a flower, tree, vegetable, or fruit?  I am sure it is easily explained by some scientific research but what causes the seed to want to change, to be transformed?

Sometimes I ponder the ways in which faith grows or does not grow.  When a seed of faith shows signs of change and growth, I wonder what caused it.  What made the human soul ready for change?  What inspired the soul to alter itself?

As I live my daily life, I want to be ready for those moments in time when you call for something different in me.  I want to be prepared, to be willing, to want to allow you to remake me.  I want to choose your will over my own.  I want to be able to weave myself into the lives of others making something far more beautiful than I may be on my own.  I want to be pliable, a happy seed in your hand.

Refashion me
in your hands,
Master Potter,
recreate me
in your image,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
