Dear God,

Just this morning the psalmist spoke about looking into our personal history to see the faithfulness of God.  I read that portion from Psalm 107 several times.

And so I did reflect back upon my own personal history...breast cancer, divorce, estrangement of daughter, danger following knee surgery, murder of my nephew, betrayal by brother and deaths of both parents shortly thereafter, daughter's ovarian cancer, another child's drug addiction...I could go on and on.  In every situation you walked the journey with me.  Daily, moment by moment, you reminded me I was not alone.  You lifted me up, whispered your love to me, gave me courage, guided my steps, healed and helped me, gave me wisdom, held my tears, encouraged me, gave me living water, increased my faith and shone light in my deep darkness.  And these are only a few of the blessings I received in times of loss, sorrow and grief.

Holy, Living God,

there is

no god

like you.

You are faithful

and true.

You breathe

your breath

into us

when we

cannot breathe our self.

I praise you.

I thank you.

I bless you,

my Lord,

Redeemer, Comforter

and God.

Love always, Andrea
