...that they may

seek Your name,

          O LORD.

        Psalm 83. 16

(What we desire

for those around us

is what others

observe in our lives.

Does anyone see

   any difference in us

because we love God

and how we love them?

Does what we choose

to do and say today,

and how we respond

    to circumstances

    or to others,

point others to Him?)

O LORD,

Help us to

live out the gospel

in every encounter

and circumstance

               today,

even in what we

do not yet understand,

even in what

    we struggle with.

May Your love

         and grace

be extended through us.

Help us to seek You

and desire that others

come to know You.
