Don't Calculate Without Him

 

Nevertheless,

I am continually with You.

You hold my right hand...

My flesh and my heart

                may fail,

but God is the strength

         of my heart

and my portion forever.

              Psalm 73. 23, 26

(God is holding me through this.

        He never lets me go.

Nothing more reassuring than that.

God does not hand out

   an impersonal print-out

                of instructions.

He walks with us, talks with us,

guides, provides, sustains,

and lifts us up,

  even out of potholes

              of our own making.

But God....

His Presence changes everything.

Don't calculate without Him.)

O LORD,

Thank You for being

       right here with us.

Help us to not just

   see another way through

or even just to get through,

     but to see You

and recognize Your wonders

          all around us.

Help us not just to feel Your hand

          holding ours,

but to know You more.

Align our steps

    and our hearts with Yours.

We are not alone.

And this place is not random

  but stock-full of Your

  eternal purposes

               and strength.
