I am the LORD;

in its time

     I will hasten it.

             Isaiah 60.22

(His timing,

            not mine,

is always perfect.

God is right on time.)

And I am sure
that He who began
        a good work in you
will bring it to completion
at the day of Jesus Christ.

            Philippians 1.6

(God is at work
     powerfully in you
     and through you.
He is not done yet.)

        be stretched out;
hold not back,
lengthen your cords
    and strengthen your stakes.

   Your bigger vision in this)

even in this)

Behold, I am doing

          a new thing;

now it springs forth,

   do you not perceive it?

I will make a way

        in the wilderness

   and rivers in the desert.

                Isaiah 43.19

(Even here,

even now,

   for His distinct purposes)

I will make the wilderness
         a pool of water,
and the dry land
         springs of water.
...that men may see and know,
may consider and understand together,
that the hand of the LORD
                     has done this,
the Holy One of Israel
     has created it.

               Isaiah 41. 18, 20

(His purposes,
His provision,
His presence
  even in this impossible situation,
  even in this "wilderness.")

    hold your right hand;

it is I who say to you,

"Fear not,

       I will help you."

from the hand of the messengers,

           and read it;

and Hezekiah went up

to the house of the LORD,

and spread it before the LORD.

(What do I need 

to spread before the LORD?

In all situations,

show me, O LORD,

Your way in this.)

            will be for us

a place of broad rivers and streams...

shall be your strength.

trust God through it)

Changes everything

(Live that way.

You are not alone.

God is working 

His mighty purposes

in you and through you.)

I put my trust in You.

In God,

    Whose word I praise,

in God 

     I trust without a fear.

What can flesh do to me?

              Psalm 56. 3-4

(Fear need not be 

           my default.

Fear paralyzes.

Trust in the LORD

      strengthens

      and releases.)

...should not a people

     consult their God?

              Isaiah 8.19

Your way in this situation,

relationship, difficulty.

Change my mind

to provide you

  with every blessing

  in abundance,

so that

  you may always have

  enough of everything

and may provide in abundance

for every good work.

    to provide you

and to use you

in mighty

in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you,

and you shall 

      glorify Me.

         Psalm 50.15

(in whatever you do)

In the morning sow your seed,

and at evening

  withhold not your hand,

for you do not know

        which will prosper,

this or that,

or whether both alike

         will be good.

Ecclesiastes 11.6

                of Yours
    can be thwarted.

God is sovereign.
Even in this.)
