Dear God,

No one can heal like you, Great Physician, no one.  Throughout my years in ministry I watched as troubled people took hold of faith, the hand of a trusted counsellor, and a willingness to pilgrim journey their way to healing and wholeness.  I witnessed how faith provided a firm foundation while seekers opened themselves to take a look at the core of their issues that held them back from amazing grace and overflowing joy.  Faith became the power to focus, reflect, and renew human lives.

This week I have the privilege of walking with a sweet teenage granddaughter who is also on the journey toward healing, health, and wholeness.  I listen and pray as you do your inner work.  I see how hope is bringing her new joy.  I see restoration in progress.

As we trust in you, pray, and give ourselves opportunity for the Physician to work, we see the sweetness of your never-ending mercy.

Holy One,
giver of new life,
thank you
for my granddaughter.
Thank you
for prayer
with flesh on.
Thank you
for blessing
that can reconstruct
a life
gone awry.

Love always, Andrea
