...but you are able

for the Spirit of the holy God

         is in you.

                  Daniel 4. 18

(It is not in us,

      but God in us.

"I can't do this!"

And God says,

    "Good.

I'm glad you realized that.

     Because I can.")

O LORD,

We come before You

with things too mighty for us,

for impossible situations,

amidst impossible people,

a deep sea of troubles

  with an army in pursuit,

and You part the sea

  and bring us through,

in ways totally unexpected

and totally from You.

The answer, the strength,

   the path of deliverance

is not in us,

          but in You,

that Your glory

may get all over everything.

Even this.
