Dear God,

The wind blew strong.  The sun beat down.  The computer did not want to work.  People could not hear each other as we shouted our prayer requests through cotton masks.  Yet, we worshipped.  We prayed.  We listened to the word and the Word in the outside setting.  And we found you and heard pearls of wisdom, light and hope.  Challenge too.

These are not easy times but as we alter ourselves and the ways we do things, we find you with us, speaking to us, helping us, healing us, holding us, teaching us, comforting us and transforming us.  Gathering on the grounds of your church, staying appropriate distance from one another and wearing our masks enable us to feel your Presence, experience your love and renew our centers.  

Thank you,

God of grace and comfort,

for helping us

find you.

Thank you

for making 

worship possible.

Thank you

for helping 

us change

so we

can do

what we 

think impossible.

Show us

your way,

we pray.

Love, Andrea
