...for the name of the LORD,

   the God of Israel.

              1 Kings 8. 17

(What we do for His holy name.

What we do in His holy name.

May we write in indelible ink

    His name at the top of the page,

    the start of the day,

    the beginning of something

       and what God brings about.

His name and His glory

   changes the journey, the outcome,

   and our hearts in this.

When His name is inscribed over it.

   nothing can remain the same.

What is different when we pray first?

When we commit to Him

this time, place, work, 

            and even this dilemma?

Everything.)

O LORD,

We come before You

          for Your holy name

    and in Your holy name

that You would bring Your glory

   to whatever we do.

Write Your Name all over it.

Please help us

  to not just be mindful of You

in this day opening up

  but bear the mind of Christ,

no matter what is

          on our path,

     or in our hands.

This is a day that You have made.

May we rejoice

             with You in it.

We are so grateful

  that we can spend it with You.
