Dear God,

You call to us to rise from our sleep.  When we get lazy in faith, when we want to "sleep in" rather than to be fully alive, you call us to wake up.  You shake us up a bit, calling to attention every fiber of our being.  You ask us to take a step into the new day not in the old way but in a fresh new way for a new day.

The possibilities for the new day are infinite.  So many adventures, directions to take and to go.  We have to be awake to the possibilities so we do not miss what you have for us in the unfolding new day.  You not only want to awaken us; you want to breathe into us the air of your spirit.  You want to excite us for what lies ahead.  You want us to walk with you, to take in the scenery before us and to sing together the song of faith.  You lead us to the fountain of living water where we drink to our heart's content.  You fill us with joy even on a dark day.  You lead us to hope and peace.  And there we sup together on the food of heaven.

Bless you,
O God,
for the gifts
of your spirit.
Thank you
for your
kind compassion.
Thank you
for allowing us
to be
spiritual companions
with you.

Love, Andrea
