...and I shall walk

         in a wide place,

for I have sought

             Your precepts.

              Psalm 119. 45

(When we soak in God's Word,

not just reading a passage,

but bringing scripture with us

              into the day

     and into our ways,

God brings us to a new place.

God enlarges our space,

        our thoughts, our actions.

He guides us in unexpected ways.

He reveals passages

                 previously hidden.

He leads us through

   when there seems to be

   no possible way.

He gives us the grace

      to bring His name to it.

God rewires our minds

               and our hearts.

Have I considered

    seeking God about this

            and trusting Him with it?

Anxiety is trying to take control

     over what is rightly His.)

O LORD,

May Your Word sink deeply

      in our hearts and minds

and infect all we do today.

Help us to read Your Word first and pray

    as we head into

    what is before us today.

Enlarge our hearts

           to follow You.

Help us to find Your way in this

    that brings You glory

in the familiar and the unknown,

and point others to You.
