...but the people of Israel

       walked on dry ground

in the midst of the sea.

              Exodus 15. 19

(God provides a different path

    through the impossible

          --when we trust Him in it.

Walking with God

   means walking with a new heart

        and a strength not our own.

We can walk differently

            in both the every days

            and in the crisis.

We can approach what is before us

        and see it with fresh eyes,

as an adventure,

as an exploration,

as a way of bringing His name

           and glory to this place.

Because we trust in Him,

    we are not afraid

                of getting our feet wet,

    even in what is difficult,

even in what is familiar.)

O LORD,

You guide us,

You provide for us,

even in impossible situations.

You anoint and appoint.

All of our encounters

           are divine,

maybe especially those

   that don't look that way.

Our feet are on sacred ground.

You take our hearts

           to a new place

   by a new route,

or by seeing this one differently.

May we glorify Your name

   wherever we are today

   and whatever we are doing.
