Dear God,

Today the preacher talked about the potter and the clay.  I breathed in his message of clay that is malleable, ready to be formed and reformed in the potter's hands.  Why would we want to be fired to remain the same forever?

There is something so hopeful to reflect upon the privilege of being in your hands, the intimacy, the love.  Why would we not want to be there?  We all need changing, maybe not today but surely tomorrow or the day after that.  Our hearts, minds and spirits need reworking.  Our thoughts, practices and beliefs often need reshaping and we know we are simply not capable on our own of changing ourselves.  But in your hands, anything and everything is possible.

Transform us,

O God,

transform our world.

We all

need change.

Not only ourselves

but our leaders,

our nations

and our world.

Please, Lord,

remake us.

Yours, Andrea
