Dear God,

You are the God of nature, the cosmos and all the people from all times and places.  You created all.  We owe your our allegiance, our loyalty and love.  Who else has invested more in us?

So often we allow others to determine our well being.  We look to them for value, relationship and meaning.  Yet, what can come from these moments of trust can lead us to a low place.  Our former president took one one group after another at home and abroad making statements about our lack of value.  Some groups he listed as living in "shitholes."  He tried to break people, to lower their status and value.  All this he did to uplift himself as greater than all.

Our God does not do this, not ever.  You uplift each and all.  You remind us even in our current state that we are the beloved of the Heavenly Father.  You are the first to greet us as we go astray always wooing us back home.  Your love is like no other.  If we listen to you, we can take heart of who we are, the child of God,

You are God,

our holy parent,

living presence

and blessed friend.

You give us value

because we

are your children,

first and foremost.

Thank you

for all

you provide.

We are blessed.

All praise

to you.

Love, Andrea
