Dear God,

You make the human body resilient, yet vulnerable, strong, yet fragile, powerful, yet weak.  You remind us we are not gods made of silver and gold.  We are not all powerful, all anything.  We are still human beings in need of God, in need of guidance, in need of help.

As I slept all day recovering from a night of horrible stomach flu symptoms, I was grateful for rest, for body restoration and renewal. My body was exhausted from the assault; yet, I had the sense I rested in your arms, like a tender mother hovering over her sick child.

Every day you give us cause to reflect upon life and what happens to and around us.  Today it was time for that reflection and I realize just how much I need you in my life, every day not just some days, but every day.  And every day, you are with me.

Holy God,
thank you
for the constancy
of your care.
May every day
I grow older
be a day
I love you more.
Thank you
for today.

Love, Andrea
