But rise and enter the city,

and you will be told

   what you are to do.

                Acts 9. 6

(God is in the business

        of guiding us

   into what we can see

   and into what

             is unknown to us.

When we follow Him,

God unfolds His course

before us,

              step by step.

When we are willing

     to trust Him

     and take just a single step,

when we are faithful

     even in what we don't understand,

His next step rises up before us.

               And not until then.)

O LORD,

We come before you in this day

     that You have intricately created

and say,

            "Here I am, Lord."

Guide us into Your designs.

Align our hearts

           and words,

    our actions and reactions

                      with Yours.

Help us to not get ahead of You,

but to know that You provide us

with all the necessary wisdom,

  Your strength,

  and boatloads of grace

            in all we do and say today.

This day, for Your glory.

How we approach it,

              with Your steadfast love.
