Dear God,

All our efforts at taming nature fail as we seek to make life the way we want it to be.  I was reminded of that once again as I was hoping for a completely smooth airplane ride from my destination.  But thick clouds made me feel like I was on a bucking bronco.  That's an exaggeration, of course, it makes my point.  Those light and airy clouds have power to rock a huge aircraft with many people on board.

Your hand has amazingly made this great and wondrous cosmos.  You put in place the rules of nature and we dominating human creatures must live with them even when we may desire to alter them in some way.  Alas, I reflect upon the trust you have built into the human soul, trust in the Creator for those times and situations we cannot control.  And so I do, gratefully.

Gracious God,
forgive me
for my flaws
and imperfections.
Remake me;
fill all
my cracks
and crevices
with you.
Make me more
like you,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
