Dear God,

What is faith but a devout belief in the presence of your living, loving self in human life.  As we look around us, breathe in free air and live and move in this world, how can we not believe in One so much greater and more powerful and creative than we ourselves?

Today as I look upon your created order, a female cardinal stands on a branch in my cherry tree.  She looks at me and I at her.  It is like we know each other's secrets of love, freedom and hope.  Right now at this very moment in my study, the world is at peace.

Holy God,

thank you

for the gifts

of your spirit.

Thank you

for reminding us

that we 

live together,

you and I.

Help me

more than ever

to grow

my trust

in you

and my love

for you,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
