Dear God,

When life begins to spin out of control, we look for you, O Lord.  We search for refuge, for peace, and comfort.  Whether it is our own life or one who is close to us, we seek your face, your voice, or your touch.

In this strange world where some have so much and so many have so little, we look for what we need to get through each day.  We grab at anything that will bring relief.  Sometimes the smallest thing will bring respite to us.

As we attempt to live out of faith, we cling to you, dear Father.  We look all over for signs of your living presence.  When that one thing catches our eye, we breathe in, take hold, and rest in you.

Give us signs,
dear God;
make your way plain.
Give us eyes
of faith
to help us
see you.
We yearn
to be close
especially when
we feel lost,
lonely, or afraid.
We need you,
Great Comforter;
we need you.

Love, Andrea
