I include God

in my thoughts.

 

It stretches my brain

to do it.

 

Cause God is broad

and wide

and can’t be contained

within my small synapses.

 

 

 

Imagine a future

and not include God

and your bound to get

bound up in fear

right quick.

 

Maybe I can imagine

a gracious future.

one that is spacious enough

to give God

the length and breadth

He needs

to fill.

More than enough

space

for the space-Creator

to elbow out

every single

“what if”

till they no longer

hover round

the edges.

More than enough

space

for faith to put down

some healthy roots

and hope

to water it well.

 

 

God

is going to be

present

in each 

present moment

ahead

so I can trust

in each present moment

God is big enough

to handle

the very present problems

IF I give Him

space.

 

God, You have

permission

to expand and fill

my mind-scape.

 

Holy Spirit,

take over

my erratic imagination.

 

Jesus, reign in and 

reign over my wild

“what ifs.”

 

I include God,

my ever 

faithful,

loving,

patient,

promise-keeping,

miracle-working,

fear-destroying,

way-making

God.
