Dear God,

You can make the impossible possible, the improbable probable and the hopelessness hope-filled.  Your desire is to act in mighty and powerful ways through your people.

So often we feel we cannot accomplish the impossible because we believe it is not possible.  Yet, with faith and trust when we step forward the impossible becomes the possible.  Even afterwards we are mystified how it happened because it seemed so impossible to us at the time.

Faith is the power to do the impossible.  Faith is believing you are big enough to transform the impossible into the possible.  Faith is love in action.  Faith can change anything.

I remember the terror I felt at the thought of climbing into a hot air balloon basket.  With no seat belts, no bathroom, no real space or protection, I stepped inside just before sunrise in Taos, New Mexico right next to the Rio Grande Gorge, the tenth highest bridge in the United States.  When we began to ascend, I shouted, "STOP!"  My heart was pounding so hard.  But the pilot said, "Do you want to go back down?"  I knew his voice was yours and the invitation was a profound one.  You were asking me if I had faith to trust you.  With a strength that was not my own, I said no and we continued our ascent.  Over the next hour, I saw what you saw so much beauty beyond my comprehension.  But more than that I praised how your power changed me.

Almighty and Powerful God,
thank you
for your
divine power
to change
and transform.
Thank you
for changing
the impossible
into the possible.
Thank you
for love
that makes
all things possible.

Love always, Andrea
