Dear God,

Starting over, beginning anew, there is something so powerful about another run at life.  Often we think we are stuck in our situation, no hope, only bleak darkness.  We sink deeper and deeper.  But the promise of a new day, a new start, a new chance is filled with hope.

Your word is filled with the assurance of another try.  You remind us we are not destined to rot right where we are.  You whisper your promises of light, living hope, and merciful grace.  When we allow ourselves the opportunity and privilege, you help us crawl out of our hole and into your arms.

Every morning you whisper your love to us and every evening you promise to be with us all night long.  You allow us to draw strength and courage from you.  As a wise father, you put your hand on us and in our spiritual imagination we are enabled to see and feel your wondrous touch.  You put us at ease giving us relief and the promise of another day.

God of Great Hope,
thank you
for ministering
to your children.
Thank you
for your
divine touch
that brings
release and peace.
Thank you
for your word
that gives life.

Love always, Andrea
