Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.
If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
A prayer
Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.
God, we're living apart and I don't know if this is the beginning of healing or the beginning of the end. I swing between hope and dread several times a day. Give me wisdom I don't have and guard my heart while I wait.
Where reconciliation is possible and safe, open that door. Where it isn't, give me clarity and courage. Surround me with wise counsel, and keep me honest with you through all of it.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
