Always There

Look to the Lord

and His strength;

seek His face always.

Psalm 105:4

•

As I look around,

ahead,

back,

it can all just crash over me.

I feel a little lost 

in the whirlwind.

I can't keep up. 

I need peace.

I want clarity.

I've been so serious,

uptight.

I want to lighten up,

relax,

enjoy.

Even as I speak 

what is on my heart,

You respond.

•

What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, 

to not be so preoccupied with getting,

 so you can respond to God's giving.

Steep your life in God-reality, 

God-initiative, God-provisions. 

Don't worry about missing out. 

You'll find all your everyday 

human concerns will be met.

Give your entire attention 

to what God is doing right now, 

and don't get worked up 

about what may or may not happen tomorrow. 

God will help you deal with whatever 

hard things come up when the time comes.

Matthew 6:31, 33-34

Thank You, Father!

Once again You show me 

that You are Sovereign — 

that You go before me,

that you know what is in my heart

even before I do.

Thank You Jesus 

for being my 

Strength and my Shield,

my Rock!
