The LORD will fulfill

     His purpose for me;

Your steadfast love, O LORD,

         endures forever.

Do not forsake

     the work of Your hands.

                    Psalm 138. 8

(When I come before Him,

when I follow Him into it,

when I am faithful to Him,

God is already

      fulfilling His purposes,

His strategic design

                 for my life,

even in what I cannot yet see,

even when it is really hard,

always when I trust Him,

               even in this.

How does that impact

   what I do today

            and my attitude in it?)

O LORD,

I have seen too much

     to question You in this.

I know that when I am willing

for You to change my heart,

    You change my trajectory,

and bring me to a different side

            of Your glory.

Your purposes are so deep

     that I will never realize

     Your profound design in this,

     which is never just about me.

Just about my heart in it.
