Dear God,

Your power can transform us, reshaping our lives forever.  As a covenant group we watched The Way, a movie about a father's personal pilgrimage on the El Camino de Santiago.  As we reflected upon the film, we remembered our own pilgrimages where faith led us to transformation.

So often we live in rutted lives where we go round and round on a hamster wheel.  We resist change because we are afraid.  We don't like to be out of control.  Yet, when we open ourselves to the wonders of faith, something happens to us.  When you breathe the air of transformation into us, we see hope and possibility.  You give us a willingness to grab hold of the future.  As we take steps forward we find you waiting.

Direct us down
the path
of transformation,
O Lord;
show us
the way home.
Teach us lessons
along the way.
Open our hearts
to friends
we meet.
Change us
from the
inside out,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
