But He said to them,

"You give them

    something to eat."

They said,

"We have no more

than five loaves

           and two fish..."

          Luke 9. 13

(Now watch what God

     does with it.

What do we do

    with what we do have,

where we are today,

and with the time

      that has been given us?

We can't do everything,

   but we can do something.

That which we bring

           before God,

He makes more than enough

      for His incredible purposes.

God blesses and enlarges

not just our resources

           but our hearts,

so that we recognize

that it is not in us,

       but Him.)

O LORD,

We come before You

with what only appears

as limited resources.

We can't do everything,

but You show us

    what we can do.

You alone

     do wondrous things,

most of which

   we are so very unaware.

Show us, dear LORD,

creative ways

       serving You

       by loving others.

And to realize our calling

    is not to a job or a cause,

               but to You.

When we follow You,

    nothing is insignificant.

You who have made me

see many troubles

      and calamities

will revive me again;

from the depths of the earth

You will bring me up again.

                Psalm 71. 20

(These words from the Psalms

do not just comfort

and bring strength,

but reveal God's faithfulness

         and His Presence.

God has not promised us

         a life of ease

         in this broken world,

but "I am with you.

       Do not be afraid.

       Even in this,

       even through this."

God is stronger.

God is greater than this.

Hold fast to Him.

  

O LORD,

You have given us Your Word,

not just to read

and meditate,

but to be strengthened

         and changed by it.

You don't just give us

     a far-off hope

     for what might happen,

but hope in You

         not circumstances,

a hope,

a strength,

of knowing You,

    on Whom

    we can stake our lives.

Please help us

   to bring Your name

   into this place today.

But you shall seek the place

that the LORD your God

will choose out of all your tribes

     to put His name

and make

           His habitation there.

There you shall go...

                   Deuteronomy 12. 5

(Wherever God leads,

wherever we find ourselves,

even right where we are,

         sheltering in place,

bring the name of Jesus there.

This is not mistake,

          nor a wrong turn,

but opportunity for the gospel,

even in the most unlikely situations

    and among the unexpected.

It is not a foreign place,

    nor a bleak landscape,

    nor the impenetrable wilderness,

if we dwell with Him there,

if we dwell in His name.)

O LORD,

These are strange times,

     beyond our comprehension,

but You are not limited

   in any way by circumstances.

Bring Your name here.

Help us to seek You,

     not just an open door,

     not just a

           self-prescribed answer,

     but You in this place.

Nothing is ordinary in Your eyes,

no opportunity without purpose,

nothing but nothing wasted.

Our response to You,

     our obedience to You,

directly impacts

    those who come after us.

Please help us to find Your story

                    in this place.

Please help our story

      to point others to You.

For Your glory

                right here.

As for that in the good soil,

      they are those who,

hearing the Word,

hold it fast

  in an honest and good heart,

and bear fruit

       with patience.

               Luke 8. 15

(The seed

    is the Word of God.

Dig deep,

hold it fast,

nurture it

    every way you can,

and let it ripen.

God bears the fruit,

far beyond

    what we can conceive

or see,

or imagine,

deeper than our lifetimes.)

O LORD,

Keep us faithful

   in preparing the soil

   all around us,

even that which appears

       a bleak landscape,

You redeem.

Keep us faithful

   in sowing Your Word

in the lives of others

    and in our own,

no matter what.

Even now.

Even in this.

Even bearing fruit

     we will never see

     until the Other Side.

  

...and you shall

bless the LORD your God

for the good land

  He has given you.

         Deuteronomy 8. 10

(Even that which may appear

bleak and barren at the moment.

Blessing the LORD for it,

blessing the LORD in it

changes our hearts toward it

      and toward God.

We are too short to see

   His vision for the goodness

that is already there

                 and waiting.

Sometimes it is

not our circumstances

     that need to change,

but our hearts are

    what needs to ripen.)

O LORD,

You know.

You know what we are facing today,

even before we realize it.

You always work

from a heart of steadfast love

       and abundant faithfulness,

even in ways we can't

             possibly understand.

Please reveal to us

    how to bless You

    and to bless others today

for Your glory

           in unexpected ways

           and unlikely places.

You are in our midst.

How do we respond differently

     because we walk with You?

Rebuke the beasts

that dwell among the reeds...

               Psalm 68. 30

(We are paralyzed

        by what might be,

and even by what

    does not exist at all.

We expect a mountain lion,

   and it is only a squirrel,

   rustling in the leaves.

Anxiety only robs us blind.

What are we afraid of?

      "I am with you,"

           God reminds us

           over and over again.

Am I being fearful,

    or am I being faithful,

even in this lockdown

        to save lives?

Not focused on

   what we could be doing,

   or what might be next,

          but what is now.

What has God given

  for us to do today?)

O LORD,

Help us to focus on You today,

              Almighty One.

Help us not to fill our time

    but that You would

        fulfill every moment.

Help us to stay put

and not be overcome

      by isolation

but overwhelmed by Your Presence.

Help us to know

   that staying home

   is saving lives,

and not just our own.

Please show us how

to face this day differently

    because we know You.

To you it was shown,

that you might know

   that the LORD is God;

there is no other

              besides Him.

             Deuteronomy 4. 35

(Crises have a way

      of unraveling fictions,

      unplugging false beliefs,

      and revealing

             mass-produced idols.

We cannot know why

   these strange things are unfolding,

but we can know

    that the LORD is God.

He is holding us fast,

   no matter the circumstances.

Even now.

Even in this.)

O LORD,

You are good.

You are God.

You are the Almighty,

          even in this.

You protect,

You provide,

You hold all things together.

You have strategically placed

         each one of us

to bring Your name here

and love those around us

       right into Your kingdom.

               

"What if this disorienting season of quarantine is not simply isolating and inconvenient? What if it can provide a newfound space for reflection to ask some of life’s biggest questions and reorient ourselves around the truth to be discovered?"      --from a letter from the Veritas Forum

God is using this.  God is using us in it.

Then we turned

and journeyed into

          the wilderness...

          Deuteronomy 2. 1

(Well, we are all now

definitely in foreign territory.

God leads us into the unfamiliar,

the unlikely,

the unexpected places,

        people, situations

to reveal Himself

           in deeper dimensions.

God does not transform

      the all-consuming bleakness,

but He helps us to see

  His uncountable wonders

            that are already here.

Even now.

Even in this.

Sometimes we don't

          grasp His purposes

or even realize the outcome,

but know yet

         God is working

in steadfast love

         for greater goodness.

"The LORD is in this place,

  and I did not know it."

           Genesis 28. 16)

O LORD,

You know our going through

      these crazy times,

this unexpected wilderness.

Help us to not seek ways through,

    but to seek You

not just on a daily basis,

            but moment by moment,

            thought by thought,

            prayer by prayer.

Help us not to be distracted

   from realizing Your Presence

and pointing others to You.

Please help us to be strong,

be courageous,

and brimming over

       with kindness and grace

   which are on short supply.

Our strength

           is in You.

What can we do?

Abide in You.

Do not be in dread

     or afraid of them.

The LORD your God

who goes before you...

            Deuteronomy 1. 29

(Follow God into this day,

step by step,

hour by hour.

How differently we would see,

feel,

think,

and respond,

    if we trusted God.

Time to pull out

   our chronicle of God's faithfulness.

God is not about to

         abandon us now,

but lead us to a deeper dimension

    in our relationship with Him.

Start the day with gratefulness

      and praise to God.

Worship sets us

        on a different path for our day,

different vision,

different heart,

grateful to Him,

even before we see the outcome.

Worship helps us see the now,

    not be distracted by the next,

fully following Him in what is

              right in front of us,

   not paralyzed or distracted

                      by what's next.)

O LORD,

Help us not to fear

          or be dismayed,

but grateful

     and responsive to You.

Help us to hear Your voice

  over the din of continuous despair,

to get Your song into our thoughts

              on a continuous loop,

words of hope,

the reality of Your Presence,

a new song of courage

        and steadfast love.

Help us to see differently

      because we know You.

Help us to respond differently

                in other ways,

   because You are God.

"For I have learned

   in whatever situation I am

to be content.

I know how to be brought low,

and I know how to abound.

In any and

          every circumstance,

I have learned the secret

     of facing plenty and hunger,

            abundance and need.

I can do all things through Him

       who strengthens me."

                  Philippians 4. 11-13

We will not just get through this.

We will come to know You more.

By awesome deeds

   You answer us

   with righteousness,

   O God of our salvation,

the hope

  of all the ends of the earth

      and of the farthest seas,

the One who by His strength

      established the mountains,

           being girded with might;

Who stills the roaring of the seas,

the roaring of their waves,

            the tumult of the peoples,

so that

   those who dwell

   at the ends of the earth

  are in awe at Your signs.

You make the going out

  of the morning and the evening

             to shout for joy.

                  Psalm 65. 5-8

(Hope everywhere we look

              in all directions,

     even in this,

the stilling of the storms

              in all dimensions

    --even despairing hearts --

revealing His Presence

     every day

                all around us

   in ways that cannot be denied.

How else can awe be explained?

How many awesome deeds

             does it take

    to recognize the Almighty

and His steadfast love?

Even in the unexpected,

    especially in unlikely places.)

O LORD,

We are surrounded by tumult

           and voices of despair.

Please help us

       to know Your Presence,

   not just to hear Your voice,

         but to listen for You.

You are our hope,

             even in this.

May Your Glory

   get all over this crisis.

Your sovereignty

      is not just our safe place,

but our refuge,

   from which to go forth

          strengthened by You.

Help us not just to fill up

these unexpected and endless

     shelter-in-place hours,

but to fulfill every moment

      by Your purposes

      and for Your glory.

...He said to Simon,

"Put out into the deep

and let down your nets

             for a catch."

And Simon answered,

   "Master,

    we toiled all night

             and took nothing!

    But at Your word,

    I will let down the nets."

And when they had done this,

they enclosed

      a large number of fish,

and their nets were breaking.

                    Luke 5. 4-6

(Do we respond to God's leading,

          or argue with Him?

What huge blessings,

     joy and strength

                have we missed

   because we haven't trusted Him?

God is just waiting

  to astonish us with the unexpected,

even in impossible, bleak situations.

Because God never works

             in singular dimensions,

our faithfulness to Him

   always directly impacts others,

even in ways we may never see.

Following God rarely takes

         the most likely path--

that we would know

   that it is His hand,                 

                           not ours.

That we would not just know

                        it is Him,

but that we would know Him.

           He is God.

Even now.

Even in this.)

O LORD,

Why are we always amazed

    at what You can do?

You are the Almighty.

Help us to walk with You

    through these troubled times.

Point our hearts to You

  that we would point others

                           to You,

that they would see

      Your steadfast love

      and Your hope,

that on which

      we stake our lives.

We will not just

             get through this.

   But let Your glory

   get all over everything.

Let what is

beyond our understanding

      and beyond our control

reach beyond survival

         to bring revival

   of our hearts toward You.

...was led by the Spirit

    in the wilderness...

               Luke 4. 1

(In the past week,

we have all found ourselves

  in a very different place,

a world that has changed

  before our very eyes,

  beyond our imagination.

But not beyond God,

    His glory and His purposes.

God is using this time

in equipping us for something,

    a time of strengthening.

Make the most of this wilderness,

not just trying to get through it,

or make sense of it,

or seeking to get out,

  but seeking Him in it.

God changes our hearts,

God changes how we see

  not just the circumstances

  and bleak landscape,

but how we see Him.

God is still God.

            Even in this.)

O LORD,

We have been led

to a foreign land,

wandering in the wilderness,

a dry and weary land

  where there appears no water.

Our souls long for You.

Help us to see this time

         very differently

because we know You,

because we know

    You are God Almighty.

May Your Presence

  not just be evident to us,

but obvious to others.

May we be bold in grace

    released from despair,

in Your name,

with Your strength,

bearing peace in our hands,

      for Your glory.

Trust in Him at all times,

            O people;

pour out your heart

       before Him;

God is a refuge for us.

               Psalm 62. 8

(It is always amazing to me

how God's Word speaks

   specifically,

   personally,

   right to the core,

centuries upon centuries,

through thousands

   and thousands of years,

a reflection of our very hearts.

Because above all,

     God is still the Almighty.

God cares for us.

God knows our hearts.

God knows

            we need Him,

now more than ever.

Trusting in Him at all times

     has no expiration date.

Trust in Him

          even through this day.

"I am with you.

              Do not be afraid."

The opposite of fear

   is not the absence of difficulty

but trusting God

    and knowing His Presence.

Seek Him.

Even in this.)

O LORD,

We are faced today

with peril and pestilence

and the big unknown,

not just what is to come,

      but what is now.

Please help us to trust You,

to seek You,

to pour out our hearts

              before You,

to not let fear

        sabotage our thoughts.

Show us specifically today

     how to follow You.

Even in this.

Guide our hearts

       onto Your paths.

And in even in the din

and cacophony

        of discordance

      and bearers of fear,

may we hear

   and recognize Your voice

     clearly and distinctly.

Help us to seek out

             You.

Bear fruits

   in keeping with repentance.

            Luke 3. 8

(Not just

      "shelter in place,"

but

    "bear fruit in place,"

right where we are,

in the most unlikely places,

in these

   most unusual times,

and among

    even the unexpected.

Are we responding

               differently

to these lockdowns,

to the quarantines,

to this new wilderness,

  because we know Christ?

How does that look different?

We are not

     in a place of fear,

but of strengthening.

God is still

      watching over us.

Even in this,

God is still God.)

O LORD,

May we not just adjust

    to these unusual times,

but bear fruit

          for Your kingdom,

even in impossible places.

May we bring You glory

     wherever You lead us today.

You are our God.

May our life in You

    be evident in the darkness,

replacing fear with

       Your steadfast love.

We are not alone in this.

You are our refuge,

our strength,

our strong tower.

May Your people radiate

with Your hope

and Your grace

and in loving others creatively.

No matter what.

With God

    we shall do valiantly;

it is He

   who will tread down

                      our foes.

            Psalm 60. 12

(With God

      changes everything.

Not "with God, we'll get

            through this."

Not "with God,

             we'll win."

Not "with God,

          it will be easy."

When we walk with God,

abide in Him,

seek His Presence,

God changes our hearts

that we may navigate

        this difficulty,

not with despair,

but with His courage,

bravery and boldness

that is not our own

    in what appears

         as impossible situations.

Despair is self-dominating.

Courage thinks of others

     and responds to need.

God treads down

              anything we fear,

both real and imagined,

that what we should do

  is not motivated by fear,

       but by the Almighty.

There are some things

  we should be afraid of

in order to be wise and cautious.

But God shows us

  how to walk through them.

                     With Him.)

O LORD,

We so often forget

         with You

we see everything differently.

With You,

    we live differently.

Because of You,

    we are different.

Go before us,

walk with us,

help us know

    how to love others

    in this time of need

that they may come

          to know You.

    

O my Strength,

I will watch for You,

for You,

         O God,

are my fortress.

My God

in His steadfast love

          will meet me.

God will let me look

   in triumph

   on my enemies.

             Psalm 59. 9-10

(God meets us

     in our deepest need,

even those longings

        and profound aches,

           hidden and invisible

        except to Him.

His steadfast love over us

  conquers anything we fear,

  both real and imagined.

What does it take

   for us to realize

      and to know that

                He is God?)

O LORD,

You are sovereign.

You are our Strength.

You surround us

   by Your steadfast love.

And we can rest

           in Your Presence,

   no matter what.

We are safe

           in Your abiding.

You are our refuge,

   not a place to hide,

but from which to go forth

   with strength

   and the name of Jesus.

Our circumstances

              may not change,

but we see all things

    with hearts changed by You,

  even in the midst of trouble.

Help us to know

and to point others to know

       that You are God.

Help others to see something different

                          in us.

   "Why are they not afraid?"

Let Your strength and shield

        be evident over us

    in these tumultuous times.

The LORD their God

        is with them...

             Numbers 23. 21

(May His Presence

   be evident among us.

How do we respond differently

   because we know God?

May our actions, our words,

our attitudes,

be saturated by His abiding.

We are no longer enslaved

                          by fear,

but empowered by His love

     and filled by His Spirit.)

O LORD,

May we abide in You.

May Your Presence

    radiate from within us

in obvious ways.

May Your love

    permeate our every action

that You would not just be

            evident to others,

but evident to us.

We are changed by You.

So Moses prayed

      for the people.

            Numbers 21. 5

(That is how to know

      what to do

in this day before us,

in this dilemma

             in our hands.

God recalibrates our hearts

      through praying to Him

  and praying for others.

God enlarges our vision,

not that we can see

                the outcome

(because God always

      works in manifold outcomes),

but that we can realize

          the next tiny step to take.

How often

    it does not even occur to us

                to pray.)

O LORD,

Remind us to pray

and to know

   spending time with You

is a place of strength

  from which to go forth.

Abiding in You

  changes how we respond,

what we do,

how we do it,

how we see Your ways,

how we comprehend

        Your Presence,

even in this.

When I am afraid,

I put my trust in You.

In God,

   whose Word I praise,

in God I trust.

I shall not be afraid.

What can flesh do to me?

                  Psalm 56. 3-4

(The entire Bible talks

      a lot about fear.

And even more

      about "Do not fear."

In the Psalms,

foes or enemies

    are whatever we fear,

    both real and imagined.

In the Psalms

and elsewhere in the Bible,

the antidote to fear

           is trusting God.

Do not live

     as if God is not.

Living, acting, responding

   out of trusting God

             not enslaved by fear,

will not necessarily

      change the circumstances,

but alters the outcome

                  and the journey.

Walking with God through this,

we will navigate differently

in a way that changes our hearts

and directly impacts

        everyone around us.)

O LORD,

You have engraved on our hearts

       "In God I trust."

May Your glory shine forth

   in these dark times.

May our lives look very differently

   because we know You.

In fearful places,

lives changed by God

         become very evident.

Please help us

to prepare Your way

        in the lives of others

by living without fear

    and loving them to You.

People without You

watch us continually

      with desperate hearts

to know that You are real.

You have strategically placed us

     for Your goodness,

     the gospel,

             and Your glory in this.

    

...and behold,

the staff of Aaron

      for the house of Levi

had sprouted

and put forth buds

and produced blossoms,

and it bore

              ripe almonds.

            Numbers 18. 8

(God bears fruit

      in impossible places.

God reveals Himself

   in incredible ways

         every day to us.

We miss out on most

      of His wonders,

 because we are

       looking for something else,

    and not seeking Him.

He is among us,

    He is working in and through us,

        and we don't realize it.)

O LORD,

If You can bear fruit

              through a stick,

what amazingly abundant,

   incredibly sustaining,

   absolutely astonishing fruit,

not can You produce in our lives,

but You can

    and You are already nurturing.

May we realize

         the seamless link

between faithfulness

              and fruitfulness.

You take an ordinary stick,

an ordinary day,

and bear Your extraordinary fruit.

Help us to trust You in this day,

to seek You even in the common,

help us to seize

    Your Presence through it.

And it shall be a tassel

for you to look at

and remember

   all the commandments

   of the LORD,

to do them,

not to follow

   after your own heart

   and your own eyes...

             Numbers 15. 39

(What "tassel" do I need

to remind me

throughout the day

not just what to do,

but who He is?

The LORD is God.

     The LORD is my God.

That alters everything.

God's Word is the tassel

   which changes my heart,

my vision,

to follow Him fully

     into His purposes

             for His glory.

There are

        no ordinary days.)

O LORD,

You have surrounded us

on all sides

with reminders of

       who You are

and that You love us.

Help us today

to follow after Your heart

                  in this

and to see with Your eyes

what You have placed

             right before us.

It is not a pothole after all,

but a foothold

    for Your deeper purposes,

a different direction

              on the very same path.

How can we approach this day

                        differently

because You love us

and we bear Your name?

      

And none of those

       who despise Me

                shall see it.

But My servant Caleb,

because he has

           a different spirit

and has followed Me

                     fully,

I will bring into the land.

             Numbers 14. 23-24

(Following God fully

    means never missing out,

not just seeing circumstances

         with a different heart,

but literally changing

         the course of our lives.

Our faithfulness

         --or faithlessness--

impacts everyone around us.)

O LORD,

Please help us

to pray continually,

live faithfully,

love well,

and practice grace

           over and over.

Help us to

       follow You fully.

Even in this,

Your hand,

Your vision,

Your heart.

Yet not what I will,

    but what You will.

             Mark 14. 36

(Have I considered

         God's way in this?

Not my will

             but Yours.

That is how to pray.

How completely different

    our lives would be,

how radically different

           the outcome.)

O LORD,

May our hearts

               be willing

to seek Your way

  in whatever we face today.

Your divine purposes

   run deeper than we can

   possibly know.

Not our will

             but Yours.

Grant us the wisdom

        the strength

and the courage

  to follow You into this week.

Not in our name

           but Yours.

Not our glory

           but Yours.

Out of the

  perfection of beauty,

God shines forth.

   

                Psalm 50. 2

(That’s where

  the awe comes from)

...and you will stand

before governors and kings

        for My sake

to bear witness before them.

              Mark 13. 9

( We will stand before

teachers and store clerks,

CEO's and people in high places,

movers and shakers,

quiet neighbors and new friends

           for His sake.

God has strategically placed

each one of us

for His sake and the gospel's

in unexpected places

and among the

         most unlikely people,

even those who claim to know You,

and even those who proclaim

       that You don't exist.

Whether in suffering

or honor and favor,

there is far more going on,

   all about Your glory,

            not our own.)

O LORD,

We are so easily distracted

from Your great purposes

to bring Your love and grace

       and Your name

into our situations,

our neighborhoods,

even our casual conversations.

Help us to be aware

not just of opportunities

    but of Your Presence,

Give us a nudge today

to speak freely of You

and to live out the gospel

    even right where we are.

Those around us

are desperate to know

that You are real.

Walk about Zion,

go around her,

number her towers,

consider well her ramparts,

go through her citadels,

that you may tell

    the next generation

that this is God,

    our God forever and ever.

He will guide us forever.

              Psalm 48. 12-14

(Seize every opportunity

   to know God

in every dimension of life.

He is faithful.

He is good.)

...guarding the sanctuary itself

to protect the people of Israel.

                  Numbers 3. 38

(Have I considered

how to serve God

       in this situation

within the church

and beyond its walls?

We each have

   a responsibility to

   our community of believers

for the honor of God

and the well-being of His people.

What is missing from church?

                 We are.

Not attending services,

or doing church,

but being the church,

each of us

           an integral part.)

O LORD,

May we bless You

in all we do and say today,

in Your name,

for Your kingdom,

for Your glory.

Help us to realize

that others are

       continually watching us,

desperately to see

           if You are real.

Please help them

  to come to know You.

Help us to follow You

    into Your purposes.

Nothing random,

nothing mundane,

nothing ordinary

   in this life at all.

Grant us Your protection

        in every dimension,

Your purpose in every detail,

and Your strength

     and grace to go forth.

And Jesus answered them,

"Have faith in God."

          Mark 11. 22

(No matter the circumstances,

favorable or difficult,

in what I am able,

     in what I am not,

whether I understand it

   or dwell in mystery,

"Trust Me in this."

It is not just that

   God will show us through,

but His deep purposes

are embedded

        even in the journey.)

O LORD,

May we respond

to whatever is before us,

whatever mountaintop

          or pothole

     we face today,

difficult situations

          or favorable ones,

impossible people

       or being blessed by them,

that we would

       trust You in this.

Use us for Your glory.

Let others see You

     in tangible ways,

even because we trust You,

Your Presence

    that cannot be

    explained away.

Help us to be still

    and know

   You are God Almighty,

even in this.

...grace is poured

        upon your lips...

          Psalm 45. 2

(The question is not

"how do I navigate

   this difficult situation?"

but

"how do I bring God's grace

            to this?"

Believers are not

        just nice people,

but those who give grace

             to others

in all size packages and

in the most unexpected ways.

You are loved.

You are anointed by Him.

There are

     no ordinary days.

Pray continually.

Live faithfully.

Love well.

Practice grace over and over.)

O LORD,

Anoint us with

Your love and joy,

Your light in dark places,

Your healing

       amidst the broken.

Please help us

     to bring the name of Jesus

     wherever we are today

in words dripping with grace,

deeds seamlessly woven

    with strong threads of love,

attitudes blatant with

     Your tangible glory.

Fill our gaps

     with Your Presence.

But whoever would

   be great among you

   must be your servant,

and whoever would

   be first among you

   must be servant of all.

For even the Son of Man

 came not to be served,

             but to serve.

            Mark 10. 43-45

(Have we considered

     how to seek God in this?

Did it even occur to us

     how to serve in this?

Walking with God

   makes us see

       what and who around us

   and respond differently.

Nothing but nothing

        random in this,

but an opportunity

             to serve God

  and practice grace.)

O LORD,

You surround us

   with immeasurable times

   to serve You

     in how we respond to need.

Help us to see

        the visible and invisible

and seek to restore

 and bring the name of Jesus

          to the broken places.

When we walk with You,

You fill us with contentment,

profound purpose,

      and Your strength.
