My dearest God,

I am confounded and amazed by the way you can take any situation and turn it into a holy moment.  What may appear to be an ordinary moment can suddenly become suggestive of an extraordinary event.

It seems, O Lord, that despair can put us right at your feet.  A sudden burst of hope can call for celebration with you. Doubt has a way of leading us to prayer establishing a connection.  An insight can take us to wonderment.  Grace can infuse us with thanksgiving.  Fear can push us to call out your name.  Any one of these human emotions can point us to you thus turning the situation from ordinary to extraordinary.

A divine touch at any time can change us giving us power to transform our own thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors.  That alone is extraordinary.

Almighty God,
move us
toward you.
Show us how
and when
we may
alter our condition.
Make us mindful
of your
slightest gesture
so we
may respond
in gratitude
and joy.

Love, Andrea
