Walking Us Through

 

At the command of the LORD

the people of Israel set out,

and at the command of the LORD

          they camped.

             Numbers 9. 18

We may not understand

where the LORD is directing us,

or why He has us 

           in this particular situation,

to go right now to another location,

or to stay right where we are.

But we can be attentive,

responsive and faithful

                   to Him.

When we are in His Word

   and seeking Him in prayer,

God does not just guide us.

    He walks us through.

O LORD,

Help us to trust You

wherever You lead us,

whether You desire us

    to stay and hold down the fort,

or to pull up stakes

  and follow You into

  what is unknown to us.

Above all,

we know that You are with us.

Grant to us the courage

   to pack it up

or to send down roots.

Guide us every step

   into this day.

May we be willing to walk with You

    into Your wonders.

Pour over us Your strength

   for the journey.
