Dearest God,

How do we fulfill your greatest destiny for our lives?  How can we reach our human potential that will change lives for the good of all people?

As I sat in the movie theater and watched the movie Lincoln, I could not help but wonder how it is some people have so many gifts for serving others.  How is that passion created?  How is determination shaped along with passion to inspire creative change?

Abraham Lincoln changed the course of history for good.  He worked ceaselessly for freedom for all people.  He wanted to liberate giving free air to all.  He blessed so many because he took his passion and determination and used them to help others.  How do we all do that?  How can we all help all others bringing about a new day for the oppressed?

How can I reach my greatest potential for you?  How can I inspire so others may find freedom from fear, doubt, pessimism, and chaos?  How can I work hand in hand with you to do your greatest good?  How can we all?

Gracious God,
help us do
your perfect will.
Show us
the way
to goodness,
compassion, and mercy.
Fix in us
the ability
and desire
to serve you
and our
fellow human beings.
Teach us
to transform ourselves
and those
around us
so we too
may be instruments
of loving service,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
