Dear God,

Preparing to meet you is always a meaningful endeavor.  Sometimes I come out of sheer desperation or frustration.  I simply fall at your feet.  Sometimes I come out of silence asking my heart, mind, and soul to adjust.  Sometimes I come out of fear.  I don't know what else to do.  Sometimes I come out of love wanting to express my devotion and praise.  Sometimes I come more like a pause to simply sit with you.

I always want to do my part when I come to you.  I want to make myself ready to meet the Great I Am.  I want to cleanse my vessel before I go tromping into your spirit space.  I want to release any thoughts and attitudes that hinder me from giving my best to you because you always give your best to me, to all your children.

The best part of meeting you is your call to come together in an intentional way.  When I see an exquisite sunset, I know it is your way of saying, "Do you see my gift to you?"  You give me the chance to respond. When I sense your invitation, I know your blessing will follow even if that means you will challenge or correct me.

Anytime we come together during the day is always the best part of my day.

Help me
live a life
that will
always be ready
to meet you.
Cleanse me
from within
so I
can purposely
meet you
in the light.
Thank you
for every request
to come together.
Forgive me
when I ignore
or neglect you.
Help me prepare
like a bride
for her bridegroom,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
