The Work You Finish

You began the song before I heard.

You stirred the river before I drank.
You wrote the journey before I rose.
You marked the ending with your grace.

I forget the slow unfolding work.
I panic at the half-built walls.
But you smile at my impatience.
You see the garden beneath the dust.
You see the city beneath the rubble.

The work is yours, not mine to save.
The harvest is yours, not mine to claim.
You breathe life into silent fields.
You build beauty in unseen places.
You finish every brushstroke of love.

When I doubt the growing way,
When I tire of broken dreams,
You pull me back to your promise.
You hold my trembling hands.
You whisper, “I will complete this.”

Today I rest in your building hands.
Today I trust your endless work.
You are the author of my story.
You are the builder of my soul.
You are the finisher of all good things.

Daily Prayer:

You sing over the sleeping hills.
You ready the morning before I wake.

Fear falls from my trembling hands.
Dismay shrinks beneath your voice.
You walk beside my waking heart.
You walk ahead of my stumbling feet.
You call the future into life.

The valleys whisper of your love.
The mountains echo your name.
You fill the forests with your songs.
You flood the fields with your peace.
You make the barren places bloom.

I will not fear the rising unknown.
I will not shrink from the length of the road.
You are already in the shadowed turns.
You are already in the bright clearings.
You are already in the songs I have not yet sung.

Today I step forward in trust.
Today I breathe the courage you give.
You go before me, Lord of all.

I lean into the breath unseen.
You whisper across the open miles.

You teach my bones to follow.

The old roads pull at my heels.
The winds of flesh howl for return.
But your Spirit shouts the higher call.
Your fire builds a better song.
Your light paves a purer road.

I walk not by sight, but by breath.
I trust not by plans, but by presence.
You stir hope with every sunrise.
You water dreams with holy rain.
You pull my heart toward home.

Today I walk in your Spirit’s call.
Today I move by your unseen hand.
You are the air in my chest.

I wait for the steps you bless.

The road may not sparkle and shine.
The way may not seem grand to men.
But your path humbles the proud.
Your way builds eternal halls.
Your justice flows through quiet steps.

Lead me in the ways of your heart.
Teach me in the silence of trust.
Guide me by the wisdom of love.

Not every dream will bear its weight.
But every step in your way matters.
Every mile in your name shines.
Every move by your hand stands sure.
