Dear God,

Funny how your word comes to us.  It can come through devotional reading, a worship service, a song, a sunrise, a friend's concern or even waking up in a warm bed.  When joy emerges, gratitude is not far behind.

It's true, I am always looking for your word to bring a word to me.  A truth, a challenge, a hope, a correction or an insight.  I know you are near and I know I need your word for my life to have purpose, meaning and value.  Each day I look for you, anticipate your presence and give thanks for faith that opens doors to your spirit in my life. 

As you draw near I feel your warmth.  You light helps me see.  Your joy bubbles up within me.  Your hope raises my own.  And your loving mercy, well, it humbles me in so many good ways.  I am blessed.

Nourishing God,
every day
you feed me.
You speak
to me.
You love me.
I am not worthy
to be sure
but oh,
so very grateful.

Love, Andrea
