...and I shall walk

             in a wide place,

for I have sought Your precepts.

                 Psalm 119. 45

(No matter the circumstances,

     unexpected, unknown,

                   or the very familiar,

God provides a place

            to stand securely.

One step and then another,

in what is seen and yet unseen,

     His way is revealed.

We have just to be faithful,

    keep walking with Him,

    and marinating in His Word.)

O LORD,

Help us to pay attention

      not just to our steps,

      but to Yours.

We are not just walking with You,

   but You are drawing us

         ever closer to You.

Open our eyes to both

   the unexpected and the familiar,

that we would not just see

        the next step or the vista,

but that we would know You more.

Align our hearts with Yours,

   that we would not miss a thing.

And by our following You,

   may we leave tracks for others.
