...and He provided for them

            on every side.

               2 Chronicles 32. 22

(God works in unexpected

           and unlikely ways.

What if this is God's answer?

Not what we perceive

   should be the best solution,

but what brings us

                closer to Him.

God always has

    far deeper designs

         in His response.)

O LORD,

You are Jehovah Jireh,

      the God who provides.

Help us to pray

with eyes and heart on You,

not on a particular answer

           of our own design.

You provide on every side,

even in ways

           we will never recognize.

You have already gone

              before us,

You have our back.

Help us to trust You

    that You are already working,

not to tell You what to do,

      and when, and how,

and not to be distracted by little gods

            of our own making

that only trip us up

   and keep us from seeing You.
