As for you,

you meant evil against me,

but God

     meant it for good,

to bring it about

that many people

      should be kept alive,

as they are today.

               Genesis 50. 20

(We are strategically positioned

              by God

for His purposes and His glory.

What God redeems

    is never just about us.

God redeems the impossible

   for His extraordinary goodness.

This is what

        forgiveness looks like

and what faithfulness does.

Not just fulfillment

        but filled with God's glory.)

O LORD,

You know,

You see,

You have seamlessly woven

    Your glory into

        this impossible situation.

Hold us fast.

Help us to see

                  only You,

not fearful or distracted by circumstances,

    but responsive to them,

bringing Your strength to the moment

   even in what we don't understand,

    not overwhelmed

                 by only what we see,

but in awe of

       the reality of Your Presence..

Let Your steadfast love

  be revealed and evident

  for the flourishing of many people.
