Dear God,

You create the seasons to teach us life lessons.  As we move from one season to the next, you invite us to transition as well, to let go and to grab hold.  You know how much we need transformation in our lives.  Stale souls lead to stagnant faith so the seasons come and go whispering to us the need for change.

More often than not change seems hard, demanding.  We stiffen up, resisting the call.  We want change from those around us but not always within our own self but you know, O God, how change can bring about healing and hope, peace, insight and promise for a new future.

It's all about trust, isn't it Great Change Maker; it's all about trust.  You want us to let go of all that threatens our growth and to grab on to your powerful, loving spirit.  You want us to trust you in all situations because you know more about us than we know about ourselves.  You truly know what is best for us.  You know what will heal us giving us space, strength and courage for new ideas, new perspectives and new ways to be.  You know trusting you will deepen our ability to see as you see, do as you do and live as you live.

Holy God,

your ways

are always better

than ours.

Teach us

this lesson

over and 

over again.

We are

slow learners

and resistant

to change.

But ultimately,

we know

you know best.

Help us

trust you more.

Love, Andrea
