Dear God,

When we forget to count our blessings, our attitudes can turn sour, our perception of life can make negative shifts and our behaviors can become offensive, disappointing and annoying.  We can become someone we are not intended to be, someone less than who you created us to be.

Sometimes we fail, Heavenly Father; we fail to look up to see our Creator, to listen for your voice and to follow your spiritual leading.  We change, leaving behind our holy clothes for a heap of dirty rags.  Why do we do that, Lord?  Why do we take hold of the cheap substitute rather than the real thing?  Why do we forget your provision?

Recreate us,
Father;
by your
outstretched hand,\
remake us.
Remove all smudges
and stains
in our souls.
Make us new
with grateful hearts,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
