Dear God,

In times of celebration we turn to you to share our joy.  In times of sorrow we turn to you to share our pain and grief.  In times of illness we turn to you to ask for help.

Today I had so much pain with my arthritis I could not gather with the community of faith.  My shoulder, hip, wrist, fingers, foot and toe all ached so badly.  At one point I felt like crying; yet, I knew there was one who knew pain greater than my own. 

Even pain can direct us to you, Merciful God, even pain.

Holy God,
Healer of body,
mind and soul,
thank you
for whispering
our name,
for caring
for our needs.
Thank you
for all things
that point us
to you.
Bless you always,
Heavenly Father,
bless you always.

Love, Andrea
