Dear God,

You save us from the deep.  You pull us out of despair.  You put us on higher ground.  You sing your song of salvation.  You put your arm around us and murmur the words of faith.

I spoke with my sister today.  I expected her to be deep in despair but I was wrong.  Although her voice was flat, she was up and making plans for her day.  I thought to myself how powerful and loving you are to care for us in our most difficult times.  You raise us up and keep lifting us higher and higher until we meet you face to face.

Thank you,
sweet Lord,
for your
loving compassion.
Thank you
for blessing
my sister.
Thank you
for lifting her
from her
ever-blackening despair.
How I
praise you!

Love, Andrea
