Lord Jesus, the wind blows where it chooses,
and I know neither where it comes from
nor where it goes, just as I cannot
fathom how the Spirit works.
Still, when the dove did not return to Jonah,
that was a sign of good news, not bad.
Sometimes we must act based
on limited knowledge.
What I do know is you have shown me
God is good to all, and God’s
compassion is over all
God has made.
Therefore make me bold to approach
your throne of grace, so that
I may receive mercy and
find your grace.
