We All Need Someone to Lean On

 

...for not by their own sword

     did they win the land,

nor did their own arm

                    save them,

but Your right hand

            and Your arm,

and the light of Your face,

for You delighted in them.

                Psalm 44. 3

(No, we do not face

         this scary day alone.

Not by our own might

   or power or ingenuity

do we make it through

   this hard thing,

   ongoing impossible situation,

       or really dark valley.

But with His Presence.

     Don't leave home without it.

In this broken world,

   there will always be trouble,

but there is always God

    with us when we come to Him.

We can always run to Jesus.

We can always run with Jesus.

On what do we trust?

       If we are waiting for

       circumstances to change,

       we will never be secure.

But God saves us

      from all that we fear.

We see differently.

We walk through it differently.

         We are not alone.

"Right here with you,"

          says the Almighty.

    "Lean on Me.")

O LORD,

We may think that

    we can carry on our own,

but we all need

        Someone to lean on.

Knowing Your Presence

   makes all the difference

in how we approach trouble,

how we navigate the storms,

how we endure

   and come through this.

Thank You

     not for just being here,

but promising Your strength

and wisdom

       and steadfast love.

Please guide our eyes

      and hearts

  to Your path through 

      the brambles or the bog.

Help us to not miss

   Your magnificence

              along the way.

Your trails are never only

     about the outcome,

but knowing You more

     as we walk with You.
