Like Jacob,
I had the idea
to do it all myself,
to make it all happen
in my own way,
in my own time…
Like Jacob,
it didn’t occur to me
you might be
right here
not far away.
But you are here, Lord!
And here I am!
I can’t do it alone –
forgive
my presumption,
my foolishness,
my sin.
You are here, Lord!
And here I am!
Trusting you,
I step out
into this day!
You are here, Lord,
not just for me,
but for those I meet,
for those I serve!
Help me to remember always
you are here!
