And as for you,

if you will walk before Me....

           1 Kings 9.4

(When we seek God,

walk with Him,

   and worship Him

   in all we do,

life will look very different

in how we approach

   and navigate both favor

              and difficulty.

God literally changes

   the trajectory of our lives

           day by day,

    even moment by moment.

And directly impacts

  those who come after us,

       more than we can know.)

O LORD,

Help us to walk with You

   through thick and thin today,

following You

   and bringing Your name here.

Help us to be faithful to You

    in both the familiar and unexpected,

with those we love

             and those who are unlikely,

seamlessly in the ordinary

        and the extraordinary.

You change the course of our lives,

     alter the pattern of our thoughts,

     and enlarge our hearts.

Empower us

       to see this situation

       and these people differently.

Align our hearts with Yours.
