Dear God,

Who can give more thanks and praise than one who has been transformed by you?  When we know that we know that we know we have been touched by the Holy hand of God, we are moved from within to shout your praise, to offer up our prayers of thanksgiving, and to humbly confess our flaws, faults, and shortcomings.  We want to be boldly honest, to open ourselves to your tender mercy, and to initiate new changes that will increase our faith and witness.

Regularly you touch and inspire us.  Through nature, relationships, devotional readings, quiet times dedicated to listen for your voice, and prayer, you draw close to us.  You whisper your loving grace and challenge us in the depths of our souls.  You move us to service to love one another with a heavenly love.  You remind us that your gifts to us are not ours alone but are to be shared with a hurting, waiting world.  Transformation for one is always fertile soil for transformation for all.

Loving God,
thank you
for transformation
that heals,
nudges, and
helps us
and our world.
Remind us
we are partners
in transformation
with you
and others.
Show us
the way
to a
transformed world,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
