Many are the plans

in the mind of a man,

but it is the purpose of the LORD

            that will stand.

             Proverbs 19. 21

(God orders our days,

guides our thoughts

              and steps,

aligns our hearts with His,

when we seek Him

  and seek to bring Him glory.

We approach what is before us

                  differently,

we choose with hearts

    that have been changed,

we see new ways

          even on the same trail,

and navigate differently

   both the difficult stuff

   or an ordinary day

       --which is never just ordinary

         in His sight.)

O LORD,

Help us to walk with You

      in the newness of life

even in what is familiar

              and ordinary,

   even in what we struggle.

Give us wisdom and knowledge

    in our comings and goings

         to bring You glory.

May we realize wherever we are,

    we stand on sacred ground

on which to worship You

       in whatever we do today.
