Dear God,

Thank you for the music of faith that has the power to lift us toward heaven and take us to valleys of peace.  As we open ourselves to you, you come in and dwell with us.  You point us to truths, principles, and promises.  You lead us to living water where we can drink and drink and drink.

When we gather for our Sunday morning hymn sing at church, we ready ourselves to be replenished, renewed, and restored.  For fifteen glorious minutes we sing our favorite songs.  Hymns like Great is thy Faithfulness, It is Well with my Soul, and Here I am, Lord  inspire us to give faith another chance. They remind us why we trust you and how hope is formed.  We sing because we need to, want to, and are called to do and what blessing comes when we sing the first note!

Bless you,
O Lord,
for the gift
of music.
Thank you
for your
indwelling presence.
Thank you
for inspiration
that builds
our faith.

Love, Andrea
