Dearest God,

You are a mysterious God; your wonders are beyond the ability of the human mind to fully comprehend your power and strength.  What I do know for certain is you use that power and strength to show your love and grace.

I have come to the conclusion there are some things too broken for the human hand to repair on our own.  Try as we may, we need your divine power to restore, reconcile, and renew.  Just as your word says, "Nothing is impossible for you."

I had jumped to conclusions.  I thought I knew the reasons for the separation.  I assumed a lot.  I was wrong.  I was really wrong.  I felt helpless and hopeless and out of respect for those who chose to separate for so long, I prayed but did nothing else.  Perhaps I was wrong or maybe time and space had to avail itself before something could change.  Today it did.

When I watch
your hand
at work,
I marvel
at your ability
to transform
human lives,
mine included.
I am inspired,
wowed, if
you will,
by the ways
in which
you direct us
toward healing
and wholeness.
You want us
to love
one another,
don't you?
You want
to show us
the way
to eradicate
resentment and bitterness.
You want
to change
the human heart,
mind, and soul.
You want
to give
us grace.
You want
to humble us
so we will
look up,
surrender, and trust.
Thank you!

Love, Andrea
