Lord, people say that sometimes the idea of something is better than the real thing, but not with You.  You alone know the beginning and the end, for You are the Alpha and the Omega.  There are no Frankensteins with You; no ideas that begin with a virtue and end with a curse.  When we trust in You, we are putting all of life into alignment.  Future generations centuries from now can experience the blessings from what You are doing at this very moment.  You alone tie up all loose ends from the beginning of time to the cross to when Jesus comes again.

You know the plan, You know my heart, You know I’m Man, You know my part. 

May I play it as I am able, beyond my reckoning, its all on the table. 

May You reveal to me my daily portion, not too much or I’ll forget my lines, not too little or I’ll lose focus and try to play parts I was never meant to.  For when I come to a door that is shut, its not enough to simply knock, it never is.  I knock, then knock, then knock again.  If knocking doesn’t do it maybe forcing it will.  Might as well call me Abraham and the door Ishmael because when I break through, a mess I will make.  Thank You for the grace that teaches me to wait.
