Dear God,

What is prayer but union with you.  We are not like two stars trying to find one another.  In prayer we are united, connected to one another.  We find that sacred space where we dwell in love and hope and even peace.  It is not words that connect us but hearts and souls.

Often, we think prayer is simply humans saying words hoping they somehow will be heard and answered.  But prayer is so much more.  When we read about your son praying, "Our father..." we know there is something so much more than our voice uttering pleading words.  Something mysterious, mystical opens us to dwell in space so holy only you can be there with us.

When we pray, Lord, we are desperate to link up with you.  When we pray we are effectively saying, I have reached the end of who I am, I need to touch something, someone greater than I.  We acknowledge our own limitations and ask for more.  Although we may never fully know it or recognize it, we never fail to come together as one.

Holy, holy, holy

are you,

God of All.

Thank you

for allowing us

to connect

with you.

Thank you

for every 

sacred connection.

Yours, Andrea
