Then King David went in

and sat before the LORD,

and said,

"Who am I, O LORD God,

and what is my house,

that You have brought me

                     thus far?

And this was

     a small thing in Your eyes,

                           O God."

                1 Chronicles 17. 6

(What appears like

    an impossible roadblock to us

is but a small detail

in which God not only provides

           in His way and timing

but even more,

          reveals Himself to us.

The key here is

        going before the LORD

        and sitting with Him.

We are looking for answers,

   but God is looking for us.

Where is my heart in this?

God is bringing us through,

sometimes in unexpected ways

   we do not yet recognize.)

O LORD,

These huge struggles

    that threaten to defeat us

are just a small detail to You.

And someday we will be amazed,

          "I was scared of that?"

You are God.

You are not just so much bigger

           than this difficulty,

   but You are using it for Your glory.

Help us to be faithful to You,

       follow You in the ordinary,

and learn to trust You,

               even in this.

We come before You, O LORD,

    not the circumstances.
