Dearest God,

You are the power that energizes the human spirit.  When our spirit is broken, weak, or failing, we can turn to you for power that will revive, restore, and renew us.

When we fail to attend to our spiritual life, when we forget to feed our soul with spiritual food, and when we stop plugging in to the greatest power in the cosmos, we begin to slump, get sloppy about the habits of our heart, mind, and soul, and spiral downward when life troubles arise.  We can feel alone, lifeless, and hopeless.  Life can appear very dark and abysmal. 

On the other hand, a miracle is wrought when we turn to you and find strength to rise up from our deathbed.  When we discover once again the amazing grace available to us in the midst of chaos,  disharmony, and pain, the miracle begins to do its work.  The dead can come back to life.

Praise to you,
Lord God;
praise to you.
Thank you
for the power
that inspires,
heals, and
and guides us
to a
new life.
Thank you
for merciful love
that fills us
and frees us.

Love, Andrea
