Dear God,

Early this morning as we worked in the sacred garden, we listened to the songbirds sing their melodic songs. How beautiful and typical of a day in this simple plot of land you set aside for devotion, meditation, and peace.

In the process of quieting my own mind and soul, I realized how much beauty awaits us as we set aside all our daily clutter in order to spend time listening for your voice.  As we take all obstacles that keep us bound to worry, anxiety, and fear, you speak to us.  You warm our hearts.  You stir our souls.  You challenge our thoughts.  You comfort us.  You teach us valuable life lessons.

As we live our lives intentionally even minutes at a time and sit with you, we are not disappointed.

Gracious God,
Guardian of our Souls,
thank you
for quiet moments
at your feet.

Love, Andrea
