They said,

"We see plainly

that the LORD has been with you."

                 Genesis 26. 28

(Does anyone see or sense

      anything different in us---

how we navigate life,

what we desire,

how we approach problems

       or impossibilities,

what we say and do,

how we treat others,

what we love?

Even in our attitudes?

Spending time with Him in His Word

                 and in prayer,

listening and responding to Him,

    radically changes our hearts

and impacts everyone around us.

God changes the world

              one heart at a time,

    and He starts with us.)

O LORD,

May others not notice me today,

    but to see You in me.

"Not I, but Christ." (Galatians 2.20)

Flow through us

            Your steadfast love

    that others are aware

    that they are so beloved by You.

May even our attitudes today

            --even in the miry bogs--

       point others to You,

because we walk with You.
