Daily conversations

 

I have not hidden

   Your deliverance within my heart,

I have spoken of Your faithfulness

              and Your salvation,

I have not concealed

     Your steadfast love

     and Your faithfulness

         from the great congregation.

                  Psalm 40. 10

(God has given to each of us

    a story to point others to Him,

opportunities every day

   even in unlikely places

and always among those

   who do not yet know Him.

Leave a witness in words.

You can never know

     how God uses them.

But He always does.)

O LORD,

You have revealed Yourself to us

    through Your Word,

    Your grace and love,

    and the witness of others.

Help us to be faithful

    in telling others

    the story You have given us

that they would not just

            see us as nice people,

   but as Yours.

We talk about so many things

    in our daily conversations,

what we have learned,

what we have done,

    the glitches and the joys.

Grant to us the courage

            and passion

   to speak as naturally of You.

And know that You

     bear the fruit through it

in ways and in generations

            we will never realize.
