The hand of our God
     was on us,
and He delivered us
  from the hand of the enemy 
and from ambushes 
                 by the way.

                   Ezra 8. 31

(What does it take for us
to acknowledge God 
and not credit ourselves?
Watching for,
recognizing,
acknowledging His Presence,
provision,
protection,
providence
changes what we do,
how we walk,
how we see the path before us,
how we know God,
how differently the journey,
     what could have been,
     and what comes of it.)

O LORD,
Despite circumstances,
help us to realize that
this momentary affliction 
is not disaster
          nor a distraction,
but revealing of Your presence
                 with us
and unfolding of Your purposes 
                 through us.
There is always something 
        monumental going on
that we are not even aware.
We just need to be faithful 
and know You are not
     about to abandon us now.
Help us, O LORD,
      to know You more.
