But you shall seek the place

that the LORD your God

will choose out of all your tribes

     to put His name

and make

           His habitation there.

There you shall go...

                   Deuteronomy 12. 5

(Wherever God leads,

wherever we find ourselves,

even right where we are,

         sheltering in place,

bring the name of Jesus there.

This is not mistake,

          nor a wrong turn,

but opportunity for the gospel,

even in the most unlikely situations

    and among the unexpected.

It is not a foreign place,

    nor a bleak landscape,

    nor the impenetrable wilderness,

if we dwell with Him there,

if we dwell in His name.)

O LORD,

These are strange times,

     beyond our comprehension,

but You are not limited

   in any way by circumstances.

Bring Your name here.

Help us to seek You,

     not just an open door,

     not just a

           self-prescribed answer,

     but You in this place.

Nothing is ordinary in Your eyes,

no opportunity without purpose,

nothing but nothing wasted.

Our response to You,

     our obedience to You,

directly impacts

    those who come after us.

Please help us to find Your story

                    in this place.

Please help our story

      to point others to You.

For Your glory

                right here.
