Dear God,

We are yours.  You made us.  We are created because you designed us.  We live because you breathed life into us.

Way too often we take credit for all we do.  We celebrate our own power.  Yet, take life away from us and we are a lifeless form.

As I consider the gift of my own life, I see the ways you have uniquely made me.  I can be obstinate and selfish, yet, courageous, determined and giving.  Because you have given me these gifts I can use them for good or not so good.  I can bless others or hold all my blessings for myself.

On days I do not feel well, I realize how vulnerable and fragile life really is.  Today I am sick.  I rely more on you for my wellness.  I learn trust on these days and I am grateful.

Holy God,
Father of all your children,
thank you
for the blessing
of faith
that opens
the door
to you.
Thank you
for making me
and all
your children.
Thank you
for keeping
your hand
upon us.

Love, Andrea
