Dear God,

When we are alone, you fill our space with your loving presence.  When we sit in darkness, you bring the light.  When we are despairing, you bring us hope.  When we are raw with pain, you bring ointment from heaven.  When we lose our way, you point us to the path that always leads home.

You give us so many gifts.  You are not a part-time God; you are always beside us.  You bless us with your living spirit that calls out to us daily.  You breathe your spirit breath into us.  You warm us when our hearts, mind, and soul grow cold from circumstances surrounding us.  You feed us the food of heaven when we are so hungry for your kind of love and mercy.

When we have the opportunity to wake from our sleep, you are the one who speaks to us first.  You guide us through our day.  You enable us to rise when we fall.  You show us the way to faith, that joyous blessing that allows us to see heaven's way. 

You are God; there is none like you!

Blessed God,
may we
not only recognize
but acknowledge
your presence
in this world.
Open our eyes
to your presence.
Open our ears
to your presence.
Open our hearts
to sing
your praise.

Love, Andrea
