Dear God,

Sometimes just the sound of a loving voice will ease the chaos in our lives.  That one voice that can bring hope, comfort, and mercy.  On Wednesday mornings when our covenant group of four gather by conference call, their voices sound awfully much like yours.

So often, O Lord, we look for big answers to our pleas for help.  We expect the miracle, the great change, or the impossible.  Most of the time we are disappointed, angry, or disillusioned.  We dismiss faith, hope, and belief as nothing more than a charlatan's flimsy promise. However, when we open ourselves for the still small voice, we connect with the master of the universe and find peace amidst the chaos.

Speak to us,
O Lord;
speak to us.
Your word
can calm
the restless,
weary soul.
Your word
can bring clarity.
Your word
can bring hope.
Prepare us
to meet you daily,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
