Bless the LORD your God.

             1 Chronicles 29. 20

(What does that look like today?

Agenda for the day:

      How can we bless Him

           in this difficult situation,

           in this mess?

Are we more interested in His blessing

       than in blessing Him?)

O LORD,

No matter the circumstances,

no matter the impossible people,

no matter the storms around us,

help us to bless You

        wherever we are,

        in whatever You have

           placed on our path and heart.

Help us to see differently

   not a "woe is me" affliction,

   but an opportunity to

      bring Your name and grace

               and glory to this place.

The world would look

               far different,

   if we were faithful to You.

Be blessed today, O LORD,

             for Your glory.
