Dear God,

I looked healing in the face.  I saw joy instead of sorrow.  I saw faith instead of fear.  I saw hope and peace instead of chaos and anxiety.  I saw healing in her soul.

You are the great healer, O Lord.  So often our troubles seem too big for us to solve.  Sometimes we are overwhelmed with life and we fall prey to all that wounds.  She was wounded again and again.  It was unjust, unfair; yet still, you were present offering healing.  Today I saw evidence of it and I am so very grateful.

Loving God,
thank you
for your
gracious work
of mercy.
Thank you
for hope
that rises up
out of ashes.
Thank you
for faith
that renews,
restores and revitalizes.

Love always, Andrea
