Walk about Zion, go around her,

number her towers,

consider well her ramparts,

go through her citadels,

that you may tell that next generation

           that this is God,

our God forever and ever.

    He will guide us forever.

                    Psalm 48. 12-14

(God is the one who fortifies us,

     who protects us,

     who strengthens us.

Seek every corner and tower

   to know Him more,

even in this difficulty,

even in this strange place.

Take advantage of every opportunity

       to grow in Him

because not only are we changed by Him,

but the lives of those yet unborn

          and those right now around us

are directly impacted by

     how we know God.

This is God.

He will guide us forever.

Who in our lives has imprinted

           that truth in us

by their faithfulness to Him?)

O LORD,

Help us to be faithful to You,

knowing not just that

             others are watching,

but desperate to know You.

May we seek You at every turn

    that our trust may be

                    in You

in every dimension

and every aspect of our lives.

You are our strength.

You are our refuge.

You are God.
