Dear God,

"Lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age."  These words of Jesus may be the most comforting words in the whole bible.  Time and time again I have relied on these words to get me through difficult times.

Right now there are people I love who are going through tough times.  Relationships, children at risk, lost opportunities, dreams falling apart, and hope being lost require additional help.  Each person and/or family is suffering wondering what to do, how to do it, and how to stop the bleeding.  But each one who is leaning on you and praying for help is finding help.  Your guidance is comforting, hope-giving, and blessing those who need it.  Your promise to be present is helping them find their way.

How blessed we are to have those words to cling to.  How happy are we to know you are present with us!

Thank you,
O God,
for your
blessed presence.
Thank you
for the hope
you provide.
Thank you
for allowing us
to lean
on you
for mercy,
assistance,
and love.

Always, Andrea
