And there

Abram called upon

the name of the LORD.

          Genesis 13. 4

(Worship is the point

when everything changes --

how we see where we are,

how we view, approach and

   navigate circumstances,

how we see God,

how we treat and love others,

and how we see ourselves.

Worship does not

          change our situation

          or merely our perspective.

Worship changes our hearts.

Am I calling upon the LORD

                        in this

or seeking my own desires?)

O LORD,

May we call upon Your name

here and there and everywhere.

May we bring Your name with us

and write it all over this day

and engraved on

             everything we do.

May we worship You

    by being faithful

even in this volatile situation

or barren landscape.

When we call upon You,

You don't just show up,

but we realize

     You are already here

      with us.
