For this is how

    one should regard us,

as servants of Christ

and stewards

      of the mysteries of God.

       1 Corinthians 4. 1

(We will all encounter and experience

     things too deep to comprehend.

We will not understand everything

     but we can be faithful,

               even in the unexplainable.

God knows.

God cares.

And we can trust Him.)

O LORD,

There are many things,

     too many to count,

that we cannot know.

     But we can know You.

And we can trust You.

You have a strong hold

     on each of us,

even in what is unknown to us.

Empower us by Your strength.

We realize we need You

          more than ever.

And equip us to be aware

        of encouraging others

wherever we are.

Everyone struggles with something.

You do not just show up.

You are already here with us.
