“If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts
of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold
me.”  (Psalm 139:9-10)

Are you beginning to see the
breadth and depth of the Lord’s presence? 
Everything He has made He takes an interest in.  He did not just make everything and let it
go.  He cares about all that He has
made.  Jesus said that a sparrow does not
fall to the ground but that the Lord knows about it.  Take comfort that every moment of every day
the Lord is always with You and never leaves you.

Lord, in times I consider bad I am unable to reconcile these
thoughts.  Bad things do happen and You
are there.  Yet I know that You are also
working everything together according to Your purpose.  When I am in a place beyond my ability to
reason, grant that I would live in faith, trusting You above all things.  This is most especially true where my reason
gets in the way of faith.

Lord Jesus, You have said that
You are with us always, even unto the end of the age.  Guide me, Lord, in the way of faith that I
would focus more upon where You are leading me than upon my ability to reason
everything out.  Lead me to learn to
trust in every circumstance that I may walk by faith, being led by Your Spirit
in the way You know I need to go.  Help
me to always trust in You.  Amen.
