Then David

inquired of the LORD again.

And the LORD answered him...

                1 Samuel 23. 4

(A daily pattern

that changed

   the trajectory of his life,

unfathomable significance

           in the tiniest details.

The path and the outcome

are far beyond my understanding

       and way out of my reach,

                      but I can pray.

And that changes everything.

Even my heart in this.)

O LORD,

Please help me

    to seek You in this,

not just an answer.

May praying to You

     be my first response,

not my last resort.

I pray Your triumph

     in unexpected ways

and unlikely places

      for Your glory alone.
