Good and gracious God,
As I prepare to walk in this new work day, lead me into Your presence and unfailing love. You who are Immanuel, God with us, have promised to be with me always.
As the Psalmist asks, “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?” (Ps. 139:7). You, O God, are the One in whom my soul finds refuge.
On this day, filled with its own to-do lists and tasks that require my efforts and attention, grant me the grace of sensing your nearness. You desire to dwell with me all the days of my life.
Open my soul to become more aware of Your presence throughout the day, and help me trust that You are with me, even when I struggle to feel so.
Teach me to see this day not as an obstacle in the way of experiencing intimacy with You, but rather as holy ground that You will stand with me on.
Help me see this day as another opportunity to commune with You. Slow my spirit to walk in step with You.
Amen.
