Dear God,

Whenever difficulty befalls us, we often fall prey to judgement and anger, or maybe I should just be honest, it is what I do.  When injustice enters our home, I become upset and angry.  I want to act out, tell people what I really think but when I see that all happening in my imagination, I see myself through your eyes.  I see the way I act on my own without faith.  I close my eyes, drop my head and pray for your will.

Only you can soften the human heart.  Only you can turn our heads to the truth.  Only you can fill a lonely, hurting heart.  Only you can whisper grace, comfort and help.  Only you can pour healing oil upon our heads dripping down.  Only you can shift our thinking, actions and behaviors.  Only you can change us, Lord, only you.

O Holy One,

I stand

in your

loving presence

this morning.

I know

I am

not alone

facing hardship

or hurt.

I know 

you are

with me.

You are

with my husband

and all

who hurt,

all because

you know

our names.

Your love

is more

than any other.

Thank you,

Loving, Compassionate God.

Yours, Andrea
