Still...

Even if this season isn't going as planned, Lord, 
and if it's not at all what we hoped,
and if "we're* not yet quite what we hoped, 
 and if life's not unfolding to our Plan A 
and if it's not even close to Plan B 
and if the diagnosis is not great 
and if the forecast is not good 
and if not... and if not... and if not... 
You are still...
You still are Good and You still are God. 
And we will be the people who will still... 
The people who will still rest in it and sing it into the dark: 
"and if not, He is still Good. He is still God... 
so we can still and be and be at rest." 

 [Ann Voskamp]



Psalm 46:10 ... Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
