The steps of a man

are established by the LORD,

when he delights in His way;

though he fall,

he shall not be cast headlong,

for the LORD upholds his hand.

 

                     Psalm 37. 23-24

 

(Follow Me into this situation,

one step followed by another.

Take My hand,

walk with Me,

seek Me

       and not just an answer.

Faithfulness to God realizes

there is always a lot more at stake

    than what appears

    on the surface,

for the welfare of many people.)

 

O LORD,

What appears to us as confusing

and unknown

and difficult,

Your hand is in it,

Your hand is on us.

Please help us

       to be faithful to You,

even in what looks like

             just an ordinary day,

because in Your sovereignty,

    there are no ordinary days.

Even in what looks like

     an impossible situation,

You are already there,

unencumbered by circumstances,

     Your victory seamlessly woven,

even in what we cannot yet see.

Please help us to follow You today

           right where we are.
