Dear God,

What is faith but a deep abiding in trust in you, your word and your living presence.  As we awaken to each new day and draw our first conscious breath, we know it is your breath, your air, O Lord.  You have created it for us.  You fill our lungs with the breath of life.  It is the first gift of every new day.

Today I reminded my downcast husband, "Faith works or it does not."  It does not mean all is perfect; we get everything we desire or life is completely transformed.  It simply means we trust in God to help us.  When we know God is with us, we can find hope and comfort, peace and even joy. 

Holy God,
thank you
for the gift
of this
new day.
Thank you
for the air
we breathe.
Thank you
for faith
that makes
each day holy.

Love, Andrea
