The LORD's arrow of victory...

                 2 Kings 13. 17

(What am I seeking in this?

My way,

           or willing to follow His?

God brings about His glory

     and His story

and His goodness

          in unexpected ways.

It is not about winning

           but willing,

not about gaining control

     but realizing His,

not overcoming

     but finding His way through.

The LORD's victory

   always results in

          a million outcomes,

some of which we

              will never realize.

Everyone struggles with something.

The LORD shows the way through

     into His glory in it.

One arrow at a time.)

O LORD,

We either think we know

    the best solution or the answer

    we want You to bring about,

or we have no clue

            what to do.

We seek You this morning,

knowing that in You,

        there are no odds.

You open our hearts and minds

  to dimensions

  we have never even imagined,

that which is impossible

              if not for You.

Send Your arrow of victory

       into this situation.

Show us a different way

           in this and through this

     in Your name

                for Your glory.

May we run hard

               after You,

right into Your divine purposes

     on this sacred ground.

You bring the victory

                   to it

in ways unexpected

       and sometimes unseen

    but always eternal.
