But I trust

            in You, O LORD.

I say, "You are my God."

My times

        are in Your hand.

Rescue me from the

   hand of my enemies

   and from my persecutors.

            Psalm 31. 14-15

(Even in this situation,

       even in this very day,

we make a choice

   of whether to trust God in it.

Our times are in His hand.

His Presence

             is all over it,

   even in ways we do not yet see.

We have only to be faithful

           and to trust Him in it.

Trusting Him brings us 

     through our difficulties,

    and tackles our fears

           both real and imagined

for His glory in what only appears

               as impossible.

This situation does not then defeat us

      but deepens our relationship

                        with Him.)

O LORD,

We all struggle with something.

But we can walk with You

         through it,

knowing that You are our God.

We belong to You.

Grant us the courage and grace

    to face whatever

    is on our paths today.

Help us to look beyond the obvious

    to see You in it.

Bring Your glory

        even into this very day.
