Taking the Highway

Lead me to the rock

that is highter than I,

for You have been my refuge,

a strong tower against the enemy.

                    Psalm 61. 2-3

 

(God grants us His strength,

not just to take the high road

   in a relationship or situation,

but to dwell there.

God shows us how to abide like that.

His vision prevails over our own.

His grace unfolds

    an unexpected way through

and the strength to be there.)

O LORD,

Help us to approach and navigate

     the familiar and the difficult

with a fresh heart

    that can only come from You.

Grant to us a new road map

    that leads to Your glory

   in unlikely places.

Even here.  Even in this.
