Dear God,

The winds of change blow upon us daily.  When we are open to your grace we allow ourselves to be swept up by the wind of your Holy Spirit.  When we do not, we resist the power intended to guide, heal, and help us.  We can become rigid and face difficulties that can harm our spirit and our ability to have a meaningful and valuable life.

You constantly give us chances to "travel" with the wind of your spirit, Lord.  You simply ask us to grab hold and go where your wind takes us.  You invite us on spiritual adventures that can take us to new lands of opportunity where we can blossom and grow producing fruit for the world around us.  You want this for us and for the world.  You want to partner with us so together we can make peace happen for all people.

Blessed God,
teach us
to trust you,
to surrender
into your hands,
and to
give in
to the spirit
of your love.
Help us
to help others.
May we always
have gratitude
on our lips
for the wind
of your spirit.

Love, Andrea
