Lead me, O LORD,

   in Your righteousness

because of my enemies;

make Your way

       straight before me.

             Psalm 5. 8

(Seeking God's way in this

is going to look

            very different.

How do I approach this

           impossible situation

and difficult relationship

and big self-made mess

                  differently

because I am a believer?

"Enemies" or foes in the Psalms

refer to the things we fear,

        both real and imagined.)

O LORD,

Help us as Your people

     to follow You

in unexpected ways

and in unlikely places.

Grant us, O LORD,

Your words,

Your next steps,

even the courage

         to follow You,

on the level ground

  and in the steep places

for Your glory alone.
