Dear God,

We have been apart for nearly two years because of the pandemic.  But today my friend Ginny arrived to help work on the spiritual path.  Reunions bring sweet memories.

When we are separate from loved ones, our love for each other grows.  Do we long more for you when we are afar from you, O God?  Why is it we long for some and not for others?  

It seems when we are in trouble and need help, we want to run to you, ask for help and wait for your assistance.  We know you are the answer to our dilemma.  Yet, in the intervening times we go on our merry way.  Why is that?

Search our hearts

and find

the truth

in us,

Living God.

We want you

more deeply

than we

want anyone,

yet we

do not 

always operate

like those

who love you most.

Reshape us,

O God,

make us more

like you,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
