But Who's Counting?

 

Seven times a day

       I praise You...

        Psalm 119. 164

(What if

   --the big what if

     that changes what we do

     and who we are --

we embedded prayer and praise

   throughout our days like that?

Responding to what we see,

   hear and experience

            with praying and praising

   instead of griping and worrying

              and freaking out.

Even in those things too hard for us,

  acknowledging His Presence

  and rejoicing in His strength.

How differently we would live

                   and interact.

How differently we would see God,

      others, circumstances,

      or even ourselves right where we are.

In Scripture, the number seven

      represents completeness

      or the linear journey from 1 to 7.

Our worship is woven

    into the fabric of the universe

    and seamlessly into our days.)

O LORD,

We come to You

   with petitions and praise.

Please help us

    be aware of You

    at every turn of our days,

giving thanks to You,

   even when we don't understand.

Align our hearts to You

   in all we encounter and pursue

                   in this very day.

Cover it all with Your glory.
