...having a hope in God...

              Acts 24. 15

(That changes

everything about us,

how we see every situation,

and how we respond.

There is not just

          "a reason for this,"

but the Almighty

                  in this.

God has got this.

He is not about to

   abandon us now.

Hope in God

   enlarges every dimension

and reveals possibilities

   to be used by Him,

   point others to Him,

and bless many people

              even in this.

Hope in the Bible

    is not wishful thinking,

but He on Whom

  we can stake our lives.)

O LORD,

You have changed our hearts

    to see You in all things,

    to seek You in all things,

    to stand different

       to point others to You.

Help us to be your anointed

    in every divine appointment,

even in what may appear

            as mundane,

            an accident,

       or not what we would choose.

There is nothing random

     in Your ways and

     the way You work.

You, O God, are invested

   in all things

   and every matter.

Help us to be sensitive

     to Your leading today,

not waiting on

  something new and different,

but being faithful to You,

   right where we are.

O LORD, do not send us

         a neon sign,

but a new heart in this.

For Your glory.
