Lord -
We journey by stages through the wilderness.
Some stages find us confident in Your provisions. Some stages find us thirsty and quarreling with those traveling with us.
May we hear one another’s complaints and cry out those complaints to You.
May we lead one another to where You stand before us waiting to make water pour out from rocks.
Is the Lord among us or not?
Whether we find ourselves confident or quarreling, the answer is yes…yes…always yes.
Amen.
