Dear God,

Faith is full of surprises!  Daily I find you.  It may be as the darkness turns to light or when the candle flickers near the stable or the Christmas clock plays carols at the striking of the hour.  It may be a lovely gesture someone makes or I offer to someone else.  It may be in worship or even when a stranger allows another to pull out in front of them.  A smile can be a sign of your presence. 

Faith opens doors, hearts and minds. It welcomes us in and gives us place.  It warms our whole being and makes room for our abiding relationship and friendship.  It grows love, makes mercy possible and spreads cheer.  It transforms.

Let faith spread
its good will,
O Lord.
Let faith shine
like the
brightest star.
Let faith breathe
new life
into us.
Let faith break down
our false strengths
and wicked ways.
Let faith warm
our cold hearts.
I pray.

Love, Andrea
