...but the tent of the righteous

          will flourish.

             Proverbs 14. 11

("How is it that these things

    are not crippling you?"

Do others see anything

    different in us?

Knowing that the LORD is God

         changes everything.

We are not dependent

      on favorable circumstances,

or impervious to the hard stuff,

           but responsive

to whatever,

wherever,

among whomever

              God places us.

Not our strength,

             but His.

And that should look

      very different

in how we look,

how we act,

how we love others.)

O LORD,

Please help us

to keep our eyes on You

to pivot on a dime,

or stay put

      even in drought,

to worship You

  in whatever we do.

and how we respond

  to what is swirling around.

We have been changed

            by You.

Please clothe us

   with Your power,

recognize You

          are with us,

know Your Word,

point others to You,

and bring You glory

   even in the unexpected.

We are Yours.

We are loved by You.

We are not alone.

You are God Almighty.
