Dear God,

Some days life seems all loss, no possibility of change, just death really.  My sister has believed this for a long time.  Each time she turned to look for hope, she was blinded by yet one more thing.  Her hope was dashed upon the rocky coast line.  She turned toward death.

But today was different.  Something happened and something shifted.  She began to think something else was possible.  Maybe it was the words of the therapist or maybe the new day dawning.  Maybe it was faith or hope come back to life.  Today she began to breathe new air, the air of your spirit.

Holy God,
you make
all things possible.
On our own,
we are stuck,
mired in
our own puddle.
But you,
you come
to us
whispering words
of hope
and encouragement.
You bring miracles
and new life.
Thank you
for bringing
my sister
back to life.

Love always, Andrea
