Dear, dear God,
the calendar suggests it is my turn to share a prayer again today,
and while I am not feeling well,
being drawn away from thinking about that to thinking about you
is a blessing in and of itself.
You are the one thing in my life that is unchanging,
and for that I give you endless thanks and praise.
So much of life – the weather, our living conditions,
our relationships, our faithfulness –
frequently wavers.
But you, in your love and your reaching out to us,
do not.
Thank you for being our anchor, guardian, and guide
through all our days.
Amen
