...and offered it
on the rock to the LORD,
to the One who works
    and is working wonders.

               Judges 13. 19

(When we offer to the LORD,
drag it to the rock,
bring it before Him,
lift on the altar,
      leave it there,
and give this concern,
this difficult situation,
this keeps-me-awake worry,
this relationship to Him,
God works wonders,
   indeed already working,
starting with our own hearts.
We can see, approach,
navigate
    and do something different,
perhaps even that which
    we never considered
    or seen to do before,
something deeper
   even in the ordinary.
There is no insignificant
                     offering,
nothing He cannot use
          for His glory,
even that we may never see.)

O LORD,
You work wonders
     not just future tense,
but are working
             even now.
The past tense of wonders
   build on the
             present tense,
right before our eyes,
far beyond our imagination
   and beyond our lives.
Help us to trust You
    in this very situation
Your strength,
Your courage,
Your wisdom,
and Your wonders
    woven seamlessly,
even perhaps
   for a generation to come.
Your wonders
    are all around us,
Your fingerprints
        all over it,
the work of Your hands.
