The Grand Whatevers

 

Now then,
whatever God has said to you,
               do.

            Genesis 31. 16

(That's where daily praying comes in,
laying out our cares and troubles,
complicated situations,
and even joys before God,
                  as we pray.
Give praying the margin
           to sink in.
And then listen and respond.
When we pray,
God realigns our hearts
   and sharpens our vision.
How can we handle this
     with a new spirit,
  because we prayed?
       To be a faithful witness.
What whatever has God placed
     before us today?
The menu changes daily.)

O LORD,
Please help us to
   stop just talking about it,
      but hold Your hand
       and respond to You.
Help us to not argue ,
        nor complain,
  nor insert our own ideas
                 or excuses,
but to follow You
    into Your sacred purposes.
We cannot see
       around the next bend.
But You, Almighty One,
 encompass all eternity.
