Dear God,

It is my circle of friends who enable me to do more than I think I can do.  Each morning I sit with people of faith, gospel writers, music composers, pilgrims from different time periods, martyrs and ordinary faithful.  As I listen to them through their writings, I hear your voice.  Sometimes it is a word of hope or peace.  At other times it is a word of challenge or conviction.  But always it is a word of faith.

For months I have dwelt with these special people.  They have guided, helped and blessed me.  Although I may not particularly care for a word of challenge, yet, I am glad because I want what they have to offer, what you have to offer.  As I listen, pray and meditate upon their words, I know I am dwelling with you.

High and Lifted Up God,
thank you
for holy, sacred moments
with you.
Thank you
for the circle
of friends
you have provided.
Open my mind,
soul, eyes,
ears and spirit
to your word,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
