Dear God, 

Yesterday was a day of marvel.  I felt like your son when the woman poured expensive perfume on his head as an act of compassion, love and generosity.  I felt all those emotions but especially was I full of gratitude.

I confess I had allowed worry to fill me up.  With national and international concerns coupled with family problems, I allowed worry to slither into my soul.  I felt that gnawing in my stomach.  Worry lines spread across my forehead.  But today, ah, yes today, today you came on a gentle breeze and breathed on me.  Answers to my prayers spilled over on me and I knew there was only One who could answer them.  Only One who could dissolve my anxieties.  Only One whose compassion and love was enough to begin the work of reconstruction.

Holy God,

Living Spirit of All that is Good,

thank you

for breathing

on me.

Thank you

for allowing

your spirit

to pervade

my senses.

Thank you

for dispelling

my worries.

Love, Andrea
