...do what your hand

          finds to do,

for God is with you.

           1 Samuel 10. 7

(What has God

      placed before me?

What has He placed

     on my path

and in my heart?

Am I distracted

from listening to Him

     and responding?

What would I do

            or even attempt

if I knew God is in it

   and God is with me?

Success or failure

    are not on the table,

but trusting God in this.)

O LORD,

Help us to follow You

into the familiar

   and into what is

   yet unknown to us.

Because it is

      not unknown to You.

Help us

    to trust You in this,

to listen

           and respond.

Grant to us the courage

and the wisdom

   to take one step

           and then another.

May we not just believe,

   but know

   that You are God Almighty.
