...descendants

     of the giants...

       2 Samuel 21.

         16, 18, 20, 22

(Over and over again,

no matter how big

and daunting our fears,

both real and imagined,

we come, stand,

pray and respond,

in the name of the

     LORD Almighty.

Remember and claim

the chronicle of

       His faithfulness,

not just in the past,

but in the now

    and in what is next.

"Trust Me in this.

     You are not alone.

     I am with you."

Even now.

Even in this.)

O LORD,

We face a new day

and new unknowns

and now what is next.

Help us to not cower

        before the giants,

but respond in Your name,

to bring Your faithfulness

     and grace to the table.

And to see the situation,

the difficulties,

the impossible people

    with a different heart

    and mind and vision

             from You.

Your narrative in our lives

       continues.

You continue to work in us,

changing us,

loving others,

and bearing witness

         through us,

not in our power

    but in Yours.

May Your glory be shown

         in this.

Let not my abilities

nor my inadequacies

or fears

 ever get in the way of that.

We do not know

         what to do,

but our eyes are on You.

    (2 Chronicles 20. 12)
