Trust in the LORD

      and do good;

dwell in the land

    and befriend faithfulness.

Delight yourself in the LORD,

and He will give you

the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the LORD,

trust in Him,

and He will act.

             Psalm 37. 3-5

(Little daily choices

never turn out to be so little,

but profoundly transform

              our hearts,

radically alter

    the trajectory of our lives,

and significantly impact

the lives of everyone around us.

Am I trusting God in this,

seeking the welfare of others,

following Him through the thicket,

watching not that God will act,

     but that He is already?

God at work.

God at work in us

       changes everything.)

O LORD,

You have spelled out for us

how to approach this day,

how to handle the hard stuff,

       and how to trust You.

We only know in part,

we can only see shadows,

but we know

that You are here with us.

Help us to trust in You

               even more,

even in this,

even when all we know to do

       is to be faithful to You.

Fill our pockets with

      Your graciousness today,

to be grace-filled in the volatile

and faith-full in the whirlwind,

for Your glory in this,

             not our own.
