You are a hiding place for me;

You preserve me from trouble;

You surround me with 

       shouts of deliverance.

               Psalm 32. 7

(Not a place of fear

   but of strength 

   from which to go forth,

a place not impervious 

        to circumstances,

but able to respond.)

O LORD,

You are our strength 

      and our shield.

You are great and awesome.

Please help us

   to follow You alone

   into this impossible situation 

   or volatile relationship,

  or even in what appears

           as ordinary.

Always for Your glory,

    Your name written 

              all over it,

holding forth Your grace

   in unexpected and unlikely 

   places.
