Dearest God,

You do not allow us to wander from the spiritual path very long.  You call our name.  You whisper to us in the wind.  You come to claim us as your own.

When I find myself wandering from some spiritual illness like disappointment, hurt, misunderstanding, resentment, or bitterness, you cause me to feel restless, unsettled, and pained, not because of the original sorrow but rather from my displacement from the spiritual path that always leads me home to peace, hope, mercy, and love.  You want me to feel the distance from my first love.  You want me to sense what I am missing when faith seems far away.

How grateful I am to be found by you, for taking my hand, and leading me home.

Holy and Wonderful God,
forgive me
for getting
off track,
for following
my own
self-made path
that leads nowhere.
Thank you
for spiritual loops
that turn
us around
to the place
of our
spiritual beginning...again.

Love, Andrea
