Dear God,

Make me like you.  Grow compassion, grace, faith, and love in me.  Show me the way to be Christ like, I pray.

Sometimes it is easy to be like you.  Living in the light, finding the joy means I am full of light so I want to share.  But when life is more difficult, when I am tired, pressured, or sick, the light seems to dim and I do not always feel I have enough to share.  There, I confess it and I am sorry.

This morning as I awakened, the first morning light beginning to show, I prayed this prayer.  Then I asked to drink from your well because I know your living water gives life, refills our emptiness, and heals us.  It gives faith a second chance and me.

Heavenly Parent,
Gracious God,
open the door
to faith
to me,
I pray.
Forgive my smallness,
my pettiness,
and my impatience.
Let faith
remake me,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
