Commit your work

           to the LORD,

and your plans

   will be established.

            Proverbs 16. 3

(Not a prescription,

          but a promise.

It does not mean

seeking a set of instructions

    "just tell me what to do!"

but seeking Him,

          abiding in Him,

  and He will direct our steps.

Commit is a heart condition,

   a term of engagement

        and dedication in a way

     that directs our actions,

        both great and small.

Commit in Hebrew literally means

         "to roll."

To roll what is on my heart

     and to bind myself to Him.)

O LORD,

You never promised

            an easy path,

   paved with no potholes,

but You continue to promise,

"Do not fear. I am with You."

         And You are.

We seek You, Almighty One,

    above all things.

May we seek to abide in You

    in whatever we do.

Order our day.

Guide our steps.

Direct our thoughts.

Align our hearts

              with Yours.
