I glorified You on earth,
having accomplished the work
that You gave Me to do.

                John 17. 4

(May we glorify You today
  in whatever You give
  for us to do today.
Considering something mundane
  is living
  within the boundaries
  of the earthly world.
Mundane means not giving it
               to You,
   for Your divine purposes,
   for Your glory.
Nothing excluded.
You, O LORD, are glorified,
  even if we never see the fruit.
Because Your work always
       exceeds our years
and spills over our lifetimes.)

O LORD,
May we abide in You today
that we might not just
       know You more in this
       and through this,
but point others to You.
Your Word strengthens us
   in ways we may never realize,
equips us for what
              is yet to come
   that which we don't see
   coming down the pike,
protects us from despair,
surrounds us,
         embraces us
with Your Presence.
Let Your glory
   get all over everything.
Even in this.
