...for I have sent them.

           Acts 10. 20

(Has it occurred to me

that God is in this encounter?

That this is a divine appointment,

that God has placed me here

    strategically

             for His purposes?

Nothing random at all

    but seamlessly woven.)

O LORD,

We face what we cannot know.

But it is not unknown to You.

Unfold and reveal Your way

     for us into this very day.

Help us to be faithful to You

   and welcome those

                on our path.

You have commanded Your blessing

in the mysteries, the ordinary days,

the unexpected events,

the steep craggy trails,

    what is now

    and what is next.

Help us to bless You in it.
