Dear God,

No one loves like you!  No one reaches out to us like you!  No one forgives like you!  You are the only reliable, consistent, unconditional lover in all the cosmos!

When we awaken to breathe clean air, see exquisite beauty in nature and are able to crawl out of bed into the new day, our quick response needs to be one of gratitude.  Even before we ask for anything else, we are already blessed by our creator!

When division and conflict are all around us, all we need do is close our eyes and breathe to remember you are with us, not far off.  Even while tending to someone else's needs, you are tending to ours.  We need not beg or plead for you are with us.  

Forgive us,

O God,

when we

forget you.

Help us

recall your mercy,

love and grace.

Remind us

of your

living presence

with us 24/7

every day.

Teach us how

to receive

your love

so we can

give it back

in gratitude.

Thank you.

Yours, Andrea
