Dearest God,

Oh, the beauty of springtime!  Driving across Pennsylvania, gazing upon the trees in bud and others in full blossom reminds me of your living presence.  When life seems dark, all we need to do is look out the window to remember the seasons and your love for all your children.  Just as barren winter trees transform so do you give us the power to change.  We are not lost in our dilemmas rather we are seemingly a breath away from transformation.

Right now I know many who are in the midst of difficult situations.  They may feel lost, helpless, and sometimes even hopeless.  What they may not know is they are in the springtime of life where you are wanting to give new birth.  Your love is just like that.  You are waiting for our approval to move forward in our lives.  You want to move us out of the dead winter debris to a place of fertile soil.  Help us say yes.

Gracious and Loving God,
we are
your children.
Help us
reflect upon
our need
to walk
with the God
who loves us,
who pulls
for us
in every situation
in life,
and who possesses
enough grace
to renew us
in faith.
Thank you.

Love, Andrea
