Then God opened her eyes,

and she saw a well of water.

                Genesis 21. 19

(When we pray,

when we come before the LORD,

call to Him, walk with Him,

listen and respond,

God changes our hearts

that we can see differently

           His provision,

           His way in this,

           and know His Presence.

God changes our vision,

                        our appetites,

         even our requests.

He is our strength,

   even more than we need.)

O LORD,

We seek You into this new day

         and week and year.

We know that nothing can remain

    the same when Your name

                  is engraved on it.

Help us to dwell in You

                        and on You

We trust You, even in

    this situation before us.

Provide us Your way.

Help us to approach difficulty

            differently

   because we walk with You.

May others see something

            different in us.

   And may that be You.
