Dear God,

Where do we turn when our minds are worried, our bodies are anxious, and our spirits are restless?  There is only one place in which to return, and that is to you, Merciful God.  Who knows and understands our trials, conflicts and troubles more than you?

In your arms we find comfort, hope, and calm.  In this crazy, chaotic world, we are desperate for a place of serenity, truth, love, compassion and peace.  Here we find living water to drink, spiritual food to eat and quiet repose to care for the soul.  In your word, your presence and your creation, we can receive what we need in order to face an uncertain future because we have a certain and promising God.

Loving God,

thank you

for arms outstretched

to us.

Thank you

for always

welcoming us home.

Lead us,

we pray,

to green pastures

and pools

of clear water.

Thank you

for tending

to our needs.

Love, Andrea
