Let me hear in the morning

     of Your steadfast love,

for in You I trust.

Make me know

   the way I should go,

for to You I lift up my soul.

...Teach me to do Your will,

for You are my God!

Let Your good Spirit lead me

        on level ground.

            Psalm 143. 8, 10

(In seeking God

at the break of day

He sets me on a different path

    through my day.

I see the day

and how to respond differently

because I trust Him.

For in You.

For to You.

For You are my God.)

O LORD,

Help us to focus

not on just a level path

with no cracks in the pavement

          or potholes,

but to realize that

You always lead us

      on a scenic highway

with even more to explore

and discover about You.

Even in the unexpected.

Every day is a

  chronicle of Your faithfulness,

no matter if we

   understand it at the time

                   or not.

May others see a difference

in our lives in what we do,

how we respond,

how we love people,

because we love You

        and seek You.
