Dearest God,

Working on the Community Peace Gathering, I realized you were changing my own heart toward peace.  I confess I harbored resentment and bitterness in my soul.  I kept them safe from healing because I wanted to remain angry, belligerent and unyielding.  I wanted to hold on to the injustices and my judgment but you, you, O Lord, had a different plan for me.  You wanted to heal my hurt, straighten me out and clean me up.  You, Gentle, Merciful God have been working on peace for me.

I have so much to learn, so much trust to give and so much change I need to make in my life.  I want to want your will more than my own.  I want to open the door to my soul, to let the light shine there and to rid myself of all the yuck that has accumulated.  I want to be clean, pure and holy.

Loving God,
full of compassion
and mercy,
thank you
for loving me.
Thank you
for changing me
while I
was creating
an environment
of change
for others.
There is
no god
like you
and there is
no love
like yours.

Yours, Andrea
