I often sit alone awhile, settle my heart into an uncomplicated mode and ponder on the wonders of creation. It seems right to prepare myself to enter God's presence with intent, not with vague wandering thoughts. Then after a few minutes I speak aloud the verse of a hymn that I learnt as a child. It has become my theme tune! and reminds me of the many years I have travelled the Christian path and known God's faithfulness.
' O Jesus I have promised to serve Thee to the end. Be Thou ever near me my Master and my Friend. I will not fear the battle if Thou art by my side. Nor wander from the pathway if Thou will be my Guide'
There is so much confusion, chaos, pain and trouble around in the world. Of course we need to pray! for our friends, family and nations. But it is so imortant that we are still and know that He is God. Not we are God, or any one else.
In over 52 years I have found that 'God is there for me'. He never turns anyone away who comes to Him in trust and honesty asking for help in time of need. His presence is more than a happy feeling, it is an assurrance of Someone greater than it all, being there with you in it all!
