Father,

We take this moment to pause and turn our faces up to You.

Things may not always make sense, and they may not always seem right, but we know more than anything that You are here at work in our world, and in our lives, and we strongly believe it to be so. You are reaching out Your Hand, and You are raising us up, again and again. You are working in our world in mysterious ways. You are moving mountains and making new ways through treacherous territory. Your Lighted path is the one we tread, always pointed North.

“So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.” (1Peter 5:6)

Thank you Father, for always steadying us. Thank you for lighting our way. Thank you for bolstering our courage and giving us the strength of miraculous efforts. Thank you for bringing us the situations and people for the next steps, and for bringing us to successful conclusions in fruitful ways. We are in awe, and so grateful to You Father.

“For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Luke 14:11)

To humble ourselves before You Father, is truly an honor, because it means we have been called upon, by You. It is not a burden to have our ego bruised, or our pride taken down. It is the most precious privilege to surrender our egoic crutches and beliefs in favor of being in Your loving arms. With grace and respect we release our resistance, fears and justifications, and embrace Your humble path with passion. You have our love and devotion, Father, and our trust.
