Dearest God,

I love the morning singing!  Even as I awaken before 5:00 a.m. I hear the birds stirring, their song ready to be sung.  As I tune in to the new day, I listen.  Different birds singing their unique songs.  So happy are they in springtime!

How much do I miss when I fail to tune in to your world around me?  How much happens that I never get to experience because I am not on your same channel?  How many miracles occur that I do not witness because I am too focused elsewhere?

When I really set myself on your course, when I prepare myself for your presence, when I await your coming, I am filled with gratitude because I see life in bold color.  I hear the song of the ages.  I experience the joy of life around me.  Sunrises and sunsets begin and end my day reminding me of your promise to be with us every day.  As plants and bulbs begin to emerge from the soil, I realize what can materialize when we move into your sacred rhythm.  Life is good when I place myself in your jet stream riding on the wind of your spirit.

As I go about my day, help me join in the singing.  Help me add joy to the world.  Help me act out of gratitude.  Help me live out of faith.

I pray
this morning
thinking of you,
Wondrous God.
Forgive me
when I think
of myself first.
Give me
the wherewithal
to join
your eternal cadence.
Make me
your own,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
