“Where can I go from Your Spirit? 
Or where can I flee from Your presence? 
If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell,
behold, You are there.”  (Psalm 139:7-8)

Where is it far enough that the
Lord is not there?  This universe and
everything outside of it belongs to the Lord. 
We think we are in our own little world and we may be, but the Lord is
there too.  Let your mind be amazed at
the thought.  Where is the Lord?  Where is He not?  His Spirit sustains all that exists and He
has invited You to know that He is with You always.

 How can this be, Lord?  I have so many questions and I ponder so many things.  Help me, I pray, to come fully into the reality of faith that I would live the life You have given me in Your presence joyfully.  Guide me according to Your mercy to walk humbly knowing that I am always with You and You with me.  Open my mind to see more fully the truth of all things which You have revealed.

Holy Spirit, You are always
here.  You are always around and moving
through all things.  Lead me in Your
presence to abide in faith, joy and peace. 
Guide me according to Your goodness to become willingly whom You are
leading me to be.  Help me now and always
to realize that You are always with me, even unto the end of this age and
beyond. Thank You, Lord, for being with me. 
Amen.
