Dear God,

Every day I look to you for sustenance for my soul.  I look to you for hope, for comfort, and for peace.  I look to you for the ability to be aware of your living presence in the world.  I look to you for guidance and direction to fully live the life I have been given.

As I begin a new day, I start with gratitude recognizing your nearness.  I rise knowing we will spend the day together, you and I.  I take steps into the day acknowledging your presence because I know my best days are the days I am intentional about my relationship with you.  When I stroll through the day with a sense of the divine, I am more joyful, more in harmony with my environment, and appreciative of the gifts I witness all day long.  I want to give more, share with others, and bless those around me.  I want to walk in the light dispelling the darkness wherever it exists.  The ability to live in the light comes from you and I give thanks.

As I ready myself for worship, I contemplate the ways I will be enabled to praise you in the community of faith.  My soul is full to overflowing!

Gracious God,
thank you
for the pleasure
of knowing you,
of being
part of
your family.
Thank you
for grace
that keeps me
on edge
remembering the blessings
you constantly
give me.
Thank you
for praise
and adoration
that gives me tools
to show
my thanksgiving.
I love you.

Love, Andrea
