Dear God,

Your ways are good.  Your mercy is comforting.  Your love is beyond imagination.  Forever your spirit is touching our lives, humbling us, helping us, inspiring us, and guiding us.

This morning as I looked at those who read my letters to you, I thought of the amazing way you bring people together.  We are strangers, but not really because your spirit has the power to make us friends.  Your spirit can cause us to pray for one another, to lift one another up, and to bless one another with faith.  At times when we feel alone you bring us hope and comfort in knowing we are not really alone because your spirit has already circled us together and surrounded us with love.

When we pause and really reflect upon faith and its abilities, we feel full of love and appreciation for you.  Above all, we feel gratitude for the amazing gift.

Thank you,
Gracious Father,
for making us
one people
in hope,
in love,
and in mercy.
As we feel
your compassionate care,
we are strengthened
with courage
and are enabled
to do
what seems impossible.
Keep your light shining
upon us
so we
may always find
our way
to you
and one another.

Love, Andrea
