Jesus, it still doesn’t seem real. Still seems too good to be true. I thank you for the possibility of having health insurance again.
I thank you for the relaxation I am trying to embrace.
Forgive me for thinking that you failed me.
Thank you for your triumph and beauty.
Thank you for this love—may I be a blessing to him. Help us to learn how to love each other well.
“So lift up your heart now, to this unfolding
all that has been broken will be restored
here runs deep water for all who are thirsty
love has come, love has come for you…”
Thank you, Spirit, for this precious gift.

For my brother who continues to have medical complications and hospital visits.
For my other brother—for traveling safeties and for preparation as he gets ready to spend a year abroad in remote rural villages.
For me—that I can have hope for my – that “a change is gonna come” and that I can instill that hope in them…for justice to be done.

Praise God, for Christ revealed to us that if we accept his love then that relationship is the trigger for “flowing water,” aka the Holy Spirit to come from out of our hearts. Praise God for the Gospel of John which offers all the answers for those of us who “hunger and thirst” for Christ. Amen!


God of love and mercy, be present in our lives. For all of these prayers to be answered, we need to feel and know your presence. Walk with us, God, and guide us. Remind us to be joyful, in spite of our afflictions, and full of hope that is rooted in you. Amen.
