Dear God,

Sometimes you shatter our beliefs because we think too small.  It is always in those moments when we have to take a step back and remember the great benefit of following you.

This week I learned justice does not always come.  We may never receive what we believe is fair, right, and truthful; however, you give us something else.  You give us the opportunity to respond to our plight any way we choose and if we choose your will, we receive the ability to overcome, to conquer the injustice and the sorrow and pain we experience as a result.  You help us rise above it and provide us a determination not to be held down by the burden.  In the midst we are enabled to experience hope, peace, and joy.

Your gifts
are greater
than gifts
anywhere else.
You bless us
with your
living presence
and your presence
provides everything else.
Thank you,
Merciful God,
for the wonders
of your love.

Always yours, Andrea
