And I said,

"What shall I do, Lord?"

And the Lord said to me,

"Rise,

go into Damascus,

   and there you will be told

all that is appointed

           for you to do."

              Acts 22. 10

(One step of obedience

        leads to the next,

even when I don't know what,

even when it does not seem

                    to make sense.

Am I willing to follow the Lord

           into this day,

           in this place,

           into His appointments?

When I willing to be faithful to Him

       right where I am,

             in whatever I do,

       God changes everything,

        even my heart.)

O LORD,

We are so quick to look

             for open doors,

     for something different,

when we have not been faithful

   in Your appointments for us

                   right here.

We look for the extraordinary

        and miss the profound.

"What shall I do, Lord?"

   about everything before me

             in this day.

"What is Your way in this?"

"How do I navigate this differently

            because I am a believer?"

Help us to recognize Your voice

and respond to Your nudges,

            out of our love for You.
