A Prayer for March

You are moving and I am watching.

Spirit of Movement,

I see the winds of change; I feel the quickening of Your Spirit.

The rhythms have been building, and the result?

Momentum. The signature of Your leadership.

Before You reveal the plan, You lay each brick of a path

I can’t fully see—or comprehend, for that matter.

You orchestrate the conversations, appoint the meetings,

quietly stir my senses, pull happenings into motion.

In carelessness, I call these happenings ‘coincidence’.

In ego, I regard them as effort rewarded.

You call them design—the Designer’s loving

involvement in every ordinary detail of my life.

Lord, thank you. Thank you for caring about me at all.

You’ve trained me to keep my ear to the ground.

You’ve tutored me in paying attention.

You’ve taught me to sense spiritual shifts in physical places,

and how to trust my gut when You’re pulling me

against the logic my brain would rather trust.

You are moving and I am watching.

When decisions are needed, help me discern well.

When nothing is needed from me but patience,

prevent me from arrogantly blazing my own trail.

May everything I do reflect Your divine counsel.

May I follow You faithfully—in all things, every single time.

Amen.
