But rise and enter the city,

and you will be told

  what you are to do.

               Acts 9. 6

(Following Him one step

         at a time,

even if the next step

         is not yet obvious.

It is not just

     what is His path for me,

but who God has

           placed on it

    to love into the kingdom.)

O LORD,

Help me to quiet my heart

so as to hear Your voice

       in this and about this,

even in loud places,

even amidst the din,

    You are here with me.

Help me to follow You

   in extraordinary situations

   and on ordinary days,

into the surprises

     and into the familiar.
