This is how one should regard us,

as servants of Christ

and stewards

      of the mysteries of God.

             1 Corinthians 4. 1

(Living with Christ,

serving Him,

being faithful in all things,

even in and through

   what we cannot understand.

Even in mystery,

   God's purposes prevail.

His glory runs deep.)

O LORD,

Thank You for Your Presence

even in what is far beyond

       what we can comprehend.

Please help us

to set our hearts on You

and not be distracted

  or try to keep up with

       variable circumstances.

You never promised

           that life would be easy,

    but that "I am with you."

We may be facing the unknown,

    but it is not unknown to You.

Grant us the courage

          to follow You into this

for Your deepest glory.
