And all the people

among whom you are

shall see

    the work of the LORD,

for it is an awesome thing

   that I will do with you.

             Exodus 34.10

(God is working

even in what

  we cannot yet see,

even when it does not appear

        to be working out.

Awesome things

are far deeper

      than we define them,

far beyond what is

            on the surface

because they impact

    more people than us,

not restricted by time

            or place

   or our understanding.)

O LORD,

Help us to listen to You,

watch with You,

wait for You,

   and respond to You.

Help us to trust You

in what we see

    and what we cannot see.

Our hope is in You,

      in both the now

      and the not yet,

not in changing circumstances.

Draw us to You, O LORD,

which may be

     Your point in this all.
