He opened the rock,

and water gushed out of it;

it flowed through the desert

            like a river.

                   Psalm 105. 41

(Whatever the impossible situation,

whatever the barren landscape,

whatever the despair,

the LORD redeems,

the LORD provides

      in unexpected unseen ways,

the LORD is

               glorified in it.

Even in this.

"Follow Me through it.")

O LORD,

I pour out my soul

             before You.

You come to me,

and whisper,

     "Trust Me in this."

Help me to be faithful

            to You alone,

no matter what is before me,

no matter what is around me,  

          no matter what.

There is none holy like You,

none besides You,

no rock like You.

                  1 Samuel 2. 2

Grant me Your vision in this,

    not dependent on

             even a dribble of water

                  --or none at all --

             but on You.
