...to Him who alone

   does great wonders...

to Him who led His people

   through the wilderness,

for His steadfast love

        endures forever.

          Psalm 136. 4, 16

(We are surrounded

      by His wonders,

both visible and invisible,

those that are realized,

those that are ripened,

     and those not yet.

God brings us through

      the wilderness,

not a place to fear,

but to discover

and explore

and grasp His greatness.

God is with us.

We have only to

  faithfully follow,

not just to the end of it,

but absorbing

           the journey.

He never gives up

               on us.

We all possess

a chronicle of

       His faithfulness,

that which has been

           inscribed

and what is

   still being written down.

Not just the next,

       but the now.)

O LORD,

You guide us in ways

we do not expect.

You make a way

where we can see no way.

There are no dead ends

       on Your path,

just redirecting our hearts

            towards You,

providing and protecting

in ways we may

            never realize.

Help us to trust You

   not in our footing,

but in Yours,

willing to take another path

        as You direct,

but also willing to stay faithfully

          on the course,

right where we are.

       With You.

Help us to not miss You

            in the now,

Your wonders all around us.
