Hold Tight to Me

 

...but the LORD
        was my support.
He brought me
   into a broad place...

          Psalm 18. 18-19

(We may be facing a thicket,
a miry bog, an impenetrable forest,
a massive unruly crowd,
but when we follow God,
when we trust Him in this place,
   God does not just bring us through.
God reveals Himself.
He gives us not just a foothold
   in impossible places
   or even the familiar,
but He shows us His path
           and holds our hands.
The Hebrew word for support
means support of every kind,
            all joined together.
The way we follow Him
       --on Whom we lean--
    in our everydays
determines how we approach
and navigate the crises,
         when they come.
Hold tight to Me.)

O LORD,
As we come before You,
please show us
not just Your way in this day,
    but reveal Yourself to us.
Please help us to pray,
     listen and respond
in ways that do not just lead us
    but point others to You.
Grant to us the courage
    to stick to Your path
and awareness of Your Presence
       to enjoy the view.
