Dear God,

What do my teeny prayers do for the world?  I am just one among billions.  I know my tininess; yet, I pray anyway.

What happens to all our prayers, O God?  Although I do not believe they evaporate once prayed, I still do not know what happens with them.  In my deepest soul I believe they make a difference because they come from you.  The idea to pray for others comes from you.  I believe you initiate prayer.  I believe you do something meaningful with them.  I hope they swell the amount of love in the world.  I pray they touch, inspire, and help people.

O God,

you tie

us together

through prayer.

I believe

you want us

to pray,

thus, you

urge us

to pray.

Take my

teeny prayer,

O God,

and use it

for your purpose.

Love, Andrea
