God Has Our Back

 

For you will not

   go out in haste,

and you shall not

   go in flight,

for the LORD will go

          before you,

and the God of Israel

  will be your rear guard.

          Isaiah 52. 12

God goes before us.

He has our back.

He walks with us,

  even through this.

We can see 

these hard places differently,

walk differently

   with the LORD through them,

be different there,

   and let God redeem.

O LORD,

Surround us on all sides

  with Your Presence.

Keep us and

guide us into Your wonders.

Help us to realize

    You are here,

before, behind,

        and abiding in us.
