Dear God,

You give each of us a song to sing, one that is unique to us.  When we sing our song daily, we add to the one great song in the universe.  No matter what kind of voice we have, it blends in beautifully with all others.

However, often when life becomes difficult, we slow down our song or worse, we fail to sing.  We think we have nothing to sing about.  But it is precisely when we seemingly have nothing to sing about that our song is all the more important because when we sing, we find faith, hope and peace.  In singing we add to others who are finding it hard to sing as well.

Our song is a song of faith; it is one that gives evidence of our love and trust in you.  It is one we can sing at anytime, anywhere and in any situation.  Through our song you hear our sorrow and pain.  In turn you sing back to us building up within us resources like courage, strength and hope.  When we sing, we connect with you in ways beyond our comprehension.  Knowing this, there is never a reason to stop!

Keep a song

in our heart,

O God.

Reveal it

through our lips.

Connect us

to you

and all

around the world.

Yours forever, Andrea
