God, I have prayed and prayed and still sense no real movement from You. Some days I feel like I’m wasting my time. Then I see a glimmer of hope through what seems like eternally darkened skies; and I know that You are still with me.

Whether You do what I think You should do or not, I know You haven’t left me. Whether I feel Your presence or not, I know You’re with me. I am so thankful that Your presence in my life doesn’t rest on how obedient I’ve been to You; rather, it rests on how much You love me. Thank You for loving me in spite of myself.

I understand what David meant when he said: “…even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me…” My finances, relationships, business or job may not be going the way I want them to, but You are still with me. You will never leave me nor forsake me.

So, no matter what I do or where I go, You are with me. Whether my path is clear or cloudy, You are always there. This is such a comforting thought in the midst of all that I’m going through right now. Thank you for being my God and allowing me to be Your child. I also thank You for being my friend.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
