Dear God,

Slowly and surely your healing power heals us!  As we look to you for help, you assist us in facing hard times.  You enter our souls and heal us from the inside out.

Today I saw evidence and felt it as I attended a memorial service at a former church.  There were several people I love who attended.  We hugged and remembered together.  During the service itself I looked around and remembered the cross hanging above the organ.  I remembered when the organ was constructed over a period of six weeks.  I remembered the choir chair where I sat.  Such sweet memories flooded me, but they were sweet, no longer hurtful.

I realize more and more how you want to heal us.  You want to take our wounds and tenderly care for them.  You want us to trust you to knit the broken places back together and you do.

Merciful God,
thank you
for your
tender mercies.
Thank you
for touching
our lives
and healing us.
Thank you
for love,
grace, and faith
that blend together
to transform us.
Bless you!

Love, Andrea
