Dear God,

No one can change us like you, O Lord, no one.  You always know what is best for us.  You know what needs transformation, our thoughts, beliefs, ways, practices and our behaviors.  You can go directly to the place that needs changing.

We think we can hide things from you but we cannot.  Our anger and resentment cannot be hidden.  It is just under the surface.  It taints us, leaving little room for the sweetness of faith, hope and joy.  The more we hate, are bitter or mean-spirited, the less space there is for you or solitude or gratitude.

Fill us up
with you,
O God;
fill us
with all
that is you
like love,
mercy and kindness.
We want
to be
like you.
We want
to shine
like the stars
in the
dark night skies
because we know
then we
will radiate
your light,
the most
beautiful light
of creation.

Love, Andrea
