Inscribed in Every Moment

 

...for they cried out to God

       in the battle,

and He granted

          their urgent plea,

because they trusted in Him.

            1 Chronicles 5. 20

(Everyone struggles

            with something.

The difference lies in what

     we rely on,

in whom or what we trust,

in what we stake our hope.

When we trust in God,

  everything unfolds differently.

God walks with us

          through the battle.

It is not just going to be ok.

God is doing something

     far more eternal with it,

   and strengthens our hearts.

The present is being transformed.

The past redeemed.

The future completed.

His Presence inscribes His glory

     in every moment.)

O LORD,

When we can't see beyond

   the circumstances,

   the hardship, or the darkness,

please help us to trust in You.

You grant to us strength,

  but You also renew our vision.

Give to us the capacity

   and ability to trust You

right into this day.

Help us to walk with You.
