Dear God,

The vision of the future is always different when viewed through the lens of faith.  When I fail to pick up the lens of faith, life can appear bleak, without the promise of hope or change.  But when I take hold of the lens of faith, what I see can wow my socks off!

When viewing through the lens of faith, I see not only the beauty of creation but also the love that created it.  I see the tools of faith to transform, reshape, and remake anew.  I see possibilities, no dead ends.  I see grace that forgives and life that can begin again.  I see life all about me but faith gives me more.  I see your sacred presence in all things one way or another.  Why would I ever forget to pick up the lens again?

Merciful God,
remind me
life is good
when faith
is applied
and trusted.
Forgive me
when I
choose not
to see
what faith shows.
Thank you
for faith
that reveals
the truth
that sets us free.

Love, Andrea
