Dear Lord,
In the times I feel most alone, I remember that You are with me. You have promised that You will never leave me. Because You are here, You hear my cries for help. You encourage me through my loneliness, reminding me of your presence.
I know You are with me because Your Holy Spirit lives inside of me. This truth gives me the confidence to know that I belong to You.
Not only are You with me, You promise to help by leading me out of trouble.
Even when I lose those I love to death and feel the loneliness of their absence, You are near. You are there to walk with me through this dark valley. You are there to carry me through my grief. You protect me from harm with Your rod and staff. You honor me in front of my enemies, and You anoint me with Your loving presence so that my cup overflows.
When the enemy tells me that You have abandoned me, help me to recognize his words are lies! May the sound of those lies signal me to reach out to You, the one who loves me. Your presence will shatter his lies because You are always by my side, even unto the end of time.
You always hear my cry because You are near, and nearer still. Thank You that You will never abandon me. My cup overflows with gratitude.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
Romans 8:9 NIV
Even though I walk through the dark valley of death,
because you are with me, I fear no harm.
Your rod and your staff give me courage.
You prepare a banquet for me while my enemies watch.
You anoint my head with oil.
My cup overflows.
Psalm 23:4–5 GW
And remember that I am always with you until the end of time.
Matthew 28:20 GW
God has said, “I will never abandon you or leave you.” So we can confidently say,
“The Lord is my helper.
I will not be afraid.”
Hebrews 13:5–6 GW
