Your Presence is where my life is.

 Amen. This is a profound and beautiful declaration of total dependence and devotion. To say, "Where Your presence is, my life is" is to state that your very existence, purpose, and direction are found only in communion with God. It echoes the heart of Moses, who refused to move forward without God's presence.

"And [Moses] said to Him, 'If Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.'"

- Exodus 33:15 (NKJV)

"You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

- Psalm 16:11 (NKJV)

What Does This Mean?

This statement is a powerful commitment:

· My Identity is in Your Presence: I am not defined by my job, my relationships, or my past, but by whose I am—Yours.

· My Direction is in Your Presence: I will not move unless You are leading. Your presence is my compass.

· My Safety is in Your Presence: Anywhere outside of Your will and presence is a place of danger and emptiness. With You is the only place of true security.

A Prayer of Surrender to His Presence

Heavenly Father,

I declare it today: Where Your presence is, my life is.

My home is where You are. My purpose is found in following You. My peace is resting in Your nearness. I will not be content with blessings if I do not have the Blesser.

Forgive me for the times I have wandered ahead, seeking my own path. Anchor my soul to Yours. Let my greatest fear be the fear of being separated from Your presence.

Whether in green pastures or the valley of shadow, as long as You are with me, I am where I need to be. My life is hidden with Christ in You.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

A Poem: "Where Your Presence Is"

"Where Your Presence Is"

I will not follow paths of gain,

If they are paved with selfish stain.

I will not seek the world's applause,

If it means leaving Your holy cause.

For any place, however low,

Where living waters freely flow,

Is home to me,if You are there,

And I can rest in Your sweet care.

Where Your presence is, my life is found,

On this solid,holy ground.

Where Your presence is,my joy is full,

Your love my heart does ever pull.

In the desert or the storm,

Your presence keeps me safe and warm.

In the battle or the fight,

Your presence is my strength and light.

So take my life and let it be,

Forever joined,my God, to Thee.

For I have nowhere else to go,

Your words of life,the truth I know.

Where Your presence is, I'll ever be,

For all time and eternity.

My home,my joy, my everything,

My faithful,everlasting King.

May you live each day in the conscious, joyful reality of God's presence. Let this truth guide your every decision and be your source of unshakable peace. You are His, and He is with you.
