Not by might,
nor by power,
but by My Spirit,
   says the LORD of hosts.
Who are you,
       O great mountain?
Before Zerubbabel
  you shall become a plain.
And he shall bring forward
           the top stone
amid shouts of
   "Grace, grace to it."

            Zechariah 4. 6-7

(We have not tried everything  
until we have come
           before the LORD
with this impossible mountain
       right before us.
We have not considered
  what God can do.
And that should always
      be our first response,
      not last resort.
No matter the
     overwhelming obstacles,
God's Spirit
        changes the landscape
by changing our hearts
 -- how we see it
     and how we see Him.
No matter the difficulty,
        no way around it,
bring grace
and even more grace to it.)

O LORD,
We all struggle with something.
But nothing is too great
                    or small
in Your eyes
that You cannot bring
     Your glory to it.
Pour Your Spirit over it.
And help us to
   follow You into
   whatever lies before us.
Even this.
Even now.
Even in what appears ordinary,
You work in
      extraordinary ways.
