The LORD sits enthroned

             over the flood;

the LORD sits enthroned

     as king forever.

                  Psalm 29. 10

(Nothing but nothing

      changes that reality,

Even over this.

Even in this.

God is still God.

God is still in control,

    even if we cannot yet see,

    even if it is hard.

"Follow Me in this.

Stay close.

Fear not.  I am with you.")

O LORD,

You are God.

You know more about

   what we face than we do.

You see far beyond us.

You are still enthroned.

You reveal Yourself to us

         every day.

May we acknowledge You

      even in the mysteries,

even through the hard places,

even in what only appears

                as failure,

even in the victories.

In Your name.

For Your kingdom.

For Your glory. 

Help us to keep our eyes

               on You.
