proverbs 3:6

"In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

Emmanuel- God With Us

The creator of the universe and all that is in it…came to us.

God cared so deeply about our wanderings that God came to see the world from our perspective. 

Isaiah 55:10-11

10 For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
   and do not return there until they have watered the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
   giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

A good number of us pray a version of the Lord’s Prayer including “save us from the time of trial”.  Certainly the worldwide trial of COVID has arched over a myriad of other personal challenges each of us have faced in these last eighteen months.
