Ready To Run

 

...let it be to me

    according to Your word.

            Luke 1. 38

(We don't have to have figured

     out the journey, the outcome,

     the details, or how in the way

              we can do this.

It is not that we need to

   lay out our day before Him,

but that we let God

   lay out His day before us.

Not interruptions nor detours,

or things not working out,

   but seeing them as divine appointments

   and sacred encounters.

This prayer of Mary

    changed the history of the world.

These words are not the voice

              of reluctant surrender,

but instead ready to roll in whatever,

whenever, 

        and however God leads.

God walks with us.

God brings the snacks.)

O LORD,

Place before us today

Your plans, purposes and

   ways to bring You glory.

We come before You

   with shoes double-knotted,

ready to run with You.

Please grant to us

   the wisdom and grace

to follow Your nudges.

Let Your glory be over all

    we do today.

Over all and all over.
