Dear God,

While onboard my flight, I watched as the sun's rays began to peek through the clouds.  I sat mesmerized as little by little the sky began to lighten.  I thought about how those rays are like your light and love, how they stretch and reach out in every direction toward your people.  Selfishly, I thought about myself and wondered if today, this moment your light and love would reach me.  Strangely or wondrously, there was then a tiny break in the clouds and a shaft of light beamed straight down and I felt the rays touch me.

O God, you are God of all gods.  You are life to me.  When I hold too tight to this world, I grow fearful, sometimes angry, anxious and despairing.  I let go of all that gives me life.  But then when I look to you, when I speak your name and breathe, we touch and meet.  I feel the essence of your presence.  I feel your light and love and I am made new...one more time.

Blessed are you,
God of all things.
I praise you;
I praise you;
I praise you.
Thank you
for touching
my life again.

Love always, Andrea
