Even THIS Situation

 

 

After this

David inquired of the LORD,

"Shall I go up into

    any of the cities of Judah?"

And the LORD said to him,

          "Go up."

David said,

"To which shall I go up?"

And He said,

           "To Hebron."

           2 Samuel 2. 1

(There is nothing too small

    or monumental to pray about.

Have I considered

    asking the LORD about

    this situation before me?

How to approach, think about,

   navigate and respond?

Praying is not putting something

          into God's hands.

It is realizing it is

      already in His hands,

and how we need to

     follow Him into it.

God aligns our hearts.

He does not hand out a map

       but guides us through.

God releases our myopic thoughts

    and enlarges our vision

to see past the improbable

    possible, obvious or hidden,

perhaps to what

    He has already placed there.)

O LORD,

We don't know what to do,

nor even what to think,

but we can come before You

      even in this situation.

We get into panic

  when we need to

            get into prayer.

Way too often what trips us up

   is not talking to You

         or listening.

Align our hearts with Yours.

Enlarge our vision.

And reveal Your glory.

Grant us the courage

    to follow You

and You alone.
