Dearest God,

You are the only one who can help us make sense of no sense at all.  You come to us in times of uncertainty.     You tell us there is no sense in what we are doing.  You remind us that perfect clarity comes from you.  You tell us to draw near you where hope comes from a very deep well.  You challenge us to recall your promise to be with us always.  You provide comfort, refuge, and solace when we live in the midst of difficult, sometimes tragic times.  You teach us to draw in the breath of your spirit where strength and courage reside.  You offer us yourself.

These are trying times for so many reasons.  Right now our world makes no sense at all.  Our leaders make no sense.  People killing other people makes no sense.  Human trafficking makes no sense.  Corruption makes no sense.  Abuse makes no sense.  Moral disorder makes no sense.  Running away from you makes no sense.

Only you can help us make sense of no sense at all.

You are God;
there is none
like you.
Draw us
to you
like a magnet.
Remind us
that Christmas occurs
every day
because there
is always
the opportunity
for new birth.
Prepare us
for your coming
in our spirits.

Love always, Andrea
