Be where you are

Prayer of Presence

Today, Lord, let me be where I am—nowhere else but in Your loving grace.

Do not let me lean forward into fear of the future, nor backward into the shadows of regret.

Keep me present, rooted in the consciousness of my soul and in the love You freely give.

Your Word reminds me: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:34)

So I will not fret over the future for myself or my loved ones. I will hand over what is Yours into Your hands, and I will hold fast to faith. Nothing else matters more than my connection to You.

Help me to see that my so-called problems are often hidden blessings, for You alone know my journey—what I need, not what I think I want.

When I am tempted to escape into the past with its regrets, or the future with its fears, remind me that You are here with me now. “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)

Let me carry Your Spirit wherever I go. When I meet others, let me not just speak to their minds but to their souls—soul to soul, eternal to eternal. May my life reflect not what this world has orchestrated, but what You have authored.

Keep me in Your arms, Lord.

Keep me present in Your love, resting in Your grace, and walking as Your faithful servant.

Closing Prayer

Father, thank You for this moment, for this breath, and for Your presence that never leaves me. Teach me to rest in today and to find peace in Your eternal care. May I walk forward with faith, rooted not in worry, but in trust. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
