Dear God,

Miracles.  Miracles come daily.  A spectacular, colorful sunrise on a dark, lonely day can lift us from the depths and plant our feet on solid ground, a miracle to be sure.

Sometimes miracles come when we desperately need healing or divine help.  A supernatural event will occur causing us to raise our prayers of thanksgiving.  At times an insight will come seemingly out of nowhere and we feel strengthened to make decisions.  Moments of uncommon beauty like the sight and sound of a new baby moving out of its darkened womb into the bright light can open us to the miracle of life.

But I think the miracle of faith is the most valuable miracle.  Each day we discover your living presence is a miracle of faith.  Each time we trust you to help us and we find our way is a miracle of faith.  Those moments when we bend our will to yours and find the benefit of following you is a miracle of faith.  Knowing you love us and want us as your child and friend is truly a miracle of faith.

Loving God,
make us aware
of all
the miracles
occurring around us.
Open all
our senses
so we
will be ready
for what
you have
for us.
Teach us gratitude
for every miracle.

Love always, Andrea
