Dear God,

Some things we simply cannot do on our own.  We may want to accomplish something but our will and power to do it is weak and sometimes very fragile.  We are nearly paralyzed.

When we get really honest with our self, we find our flaws and weaknesses.  We can live inside those and never change our situation.  But there is a better way; there is a power that will undergird us.  There is one who can help us do the impossible.  There is a way out and a way up.

You, O Lord, are the power to help us overcome.  You can put energy behind our weakness that can become strength.  You can transform us as positive, powerful people designed to do your will.  We can rise to greater heights simply because you are filling us, feeding us and leading us.  When we place our trust in you, we really can do so much more.

Forgive us,

Lord, when we

forget to

ask for

your help.

Forgive us

when we act

like gods ourselves.

Forgive us

when we

operate as

self-sufficient people.

Forgive us

when we fail

to remember

your past faithfulness.

Forgive us

when we

leave you out

of our lives.

Love, Andrea
