When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. — Psalm 94:18

We are amazed by how far God’s reach is, how powerful he is, and how magnificent his majesty is. God’s personal closeness to us is another fact that may seem hard to believe. He chooses to know us and be a part of the good and bad things that happen to us every day. How will today or tomorrow be different now that you know he is there and will be with you? What does it matter if you know he’ll catch you if you trip or that he’ll be there to calm you down if your nerves start to get the best of you?

Prayer

Please hear my heart, loving God, who is everywhere and always close by. I’m in awe of your proximity to and presence within me. I value the comfort you give me when I feel under attack, the strength you give me when I’m weak, the courage you give me when I’m being attacked, and the hope you give me when everything seems lost. These are the gifts of your presence that I treasure. I wouldn’t know where to go or why I’m here if you weren’t here. I appreciate your knowing me. One day, I hope to know you as well as you do now. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
