Dear God,

Bend our hearts and minds to your will.  Shape us to want more, more of what you want for us.  Fashion us in your image that we may see the divine in ourselves.

So often the clay of our soul becomes hardened, brittle and crumbly.  Rigid and unbending we cease to live and function normally.  We lose our elasticity, our ability to move and change and transform.  We become useless.

But when we long for you and your will, we open ourselves to all of you.  We bow down and worship.  We sing and dance.  We live and move and have our being just as scriptures tell us.  We find your way and we follow.  And then we laugh and sing and dance again.

Bless you,
Holy God,
for the gifts
of your spirit.
Thank you
for creating us
to bend
and reach
and dance.
Thank you
for your love
that makes
all things possible.

Love, Andrea
