I believe that I shall look upon

        the goodness of the LORD

    in the land of the living!

Wait for the LORD;

be strong,

and let your heart take courage;

            wait for the LORD.

               Psalm 27. 13-14

(Trusting God totally changes

how we see God

and how we approach circumstances.

Waiting on Him

     is never a Laz-E-Boy recliner,

but a place of equipping, seeking,

            and following Him,

   taking one step and then another.

God's way of provision

                and deliverance

always requires some measure

          of trusting Him

              and a willing heart.)

O LORD,

You are good.

And we can trust You,

even when the way is hard,

even when we cannot see

                  the outcome

      of what we are doing.

Your goodness still

          surrounds us,

Your strength and wisdom

     embrace us.

Help us to take up Your courage.
