Teach me to do Your will,
     for You are my God.
Let Your good Spirit lead me
             on level ground.

             Psalm 143. 10

(Am I willing to listen to
            His voice
   and walk in His way,
              not mine?
Because He is our God,
    we walk differently.
        We bear the witness
        of a forgiven heart.
God does not promise easy,
   but He is with us,
               Immanuel,
even in this broken world,
even when there doesn't appear
        a trodden path.
God guides us through
    the rough, confusing difficult terrain
as if it was level ground,
    relying on His strength.
He walks with us there.
He brings us to Himself.)

O LORD,
We capture only glimpses
        of Your faithfulness
and someday
       the fullness of Your glory.
Teach us to listen, follow,
     and respond to You,
that we would
             not miss a thing.
We cling to the
    chronicle of Your faithfulness
and dwell not on the darkness,
   but walk toward Your light.
When our eyes are on You,
we walk differently
    because we see You,
    others,
    ourselves,
and our circumstances
                        differently.
And nothing can ever
       remain the same.
