...at the presence

   of the God of Jacob,

Who turns the rock

   into a pool of water,

the flint into

   a spring of water.

             Psalm 114. 8

(Whatever our

     impossible situation,

between the rock

       and the hard place,

in the dried up places,

deep in the wilderness

 where there are no trails,

His Presence does not

just change how

    I look at

    or approach it,

His Presence does not

necessarily change

    the circumstances,

but supersedes them.

God is superior

to whatever is going on.

God takes His rightful place.

How we see our days

is reflected by

   how we see God.

His Presence impacts

          our hearts

and thoughts

and attitudes

and actions

and how we approach

the hard stuff

      and the favorable.)

O LORD,

You are not just great.

You are the Almighty.

You guide

   even into the hard stuff.

You provide

  even in the impossible.

You multiply

       not just stuff we need,

but Your Presence

    all over this day,

all over this situation,

all over our hearts.

May Your power

            and glory

be revealed

   even in our inadequacies.

May our focus be

  not on what we don't have,

but on Who You are.

May we worship You

  as we walk right into

  Your day for us.

Your Presence changes

            everything,

even our hearts.
