For God’s Presence
Ever-Present God,
Your promise to never leave or forsake me holds me up and helps me weather the ups and downs in life. To know that you are always present provides me with peace during times of turmoil and confidence in times of uncertainty. When I feel isolated or lonely, it is not because you have deserted me or turned your back on me, but often because I have drifted away from you. When my feelings betray me and the evil one seizes on them to try to convince me that you’ve given up on me, redirect my thoughts to what is right and true: your Word. Let your Word always remain in my heart, dwelling in me richly. Through it, keep me always close to you.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
