Fresh Water For Weary Souls

 

And the LORD

will guide you continually

and satisfy your desire

     in scorched places

and make your bones strong.

You shall be like

      a watered garden,

like a spring of water,

whose waters do not fail.

            Isaiah 58. 11

(When we walk with God,

He does not just

   guide our steps

but transforms our hearts.

We see God with a new spirit,

we see ourselves and 

   the situation we're in differently,

not defeated by

         scorched places,

but knowing how to respond

  in unexpected ways

for the well-being

of those around us.)

O LORD,

Help us to view

the circumstances before us

  with a new heart

  and revived strength.

You have divinely appointed us

    even in drought

to bring living water here.

Show us specifically how

           to do that today,

as a witness Your wonders.
