Dear God,

New trees and bushes have been planted in my contemplative garden.  Now it is my responsibility to cultivate and care for the new plantings.  I need to water, weed and watch.  The new plants remind me that when you plant a new seed within us, we have work to do to care for our soul.

You know what we need when we need it.  You sow seeds in us all the time.  Sometimes we take notice and begin care right away.  Other times we are sloppy and haphazard.  There are times we completely ignore them and let them die.  But there are other moments when we gladly receive them and take excellent care of your divine work within us.

Lord, sow 

your seeds

in us.

Make us

fertile soil.

Help us tend

the garden

of our soul.

Love, Andrea
