In your Presence, where my joy will be.

 Amen. This is the ultimate confession of a heart that has found its true home, its final rest, and its greatest joy.

"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

— Psalm 16:11 (ESV)

When your heart is anchored in His presence, everything changes. That is where:

· Worry is replaced by peace that surpasses understanding.

· Confusion is replaced by clarity from the Father of lights.

· Weakness is met with strength that is made perfect.

· Restlessness finds rest in the One who never sleeps.

· Your identity is secured, not by what you do, but by whose you are.

A Prayer of Abiding Presence

Lord God, my Shepherd and my King,

I declare it now: In Your presence is where my heart will be.

Anchor my soul in You. Let my first thought in the morning and my last sigh at night be drawn to You.

When the day pulls me in a hundred directions, be my center.

When storms rage around me, be my inner sanctuary.

I confess that my heart is prone to wander. It seeks satisfaction in lesser things.

Forgive me.

Draw me back, again and again, to the one place where I am fully known, fully loved, and fully alive—in Your holy presence.

Here, I find my purpose. Here, I find my joy. Here, I find my home.

In the name of Jesus, who tore the veil and opened the way, I pray. Amen.

A Blessing for Your Heart's Home

May your heart find its constant residence in Him today. May you live and move and have your being in the conscious, joyful awareness of His nearness. And from that place of abiding, may you pour out His love, peace, and light into the world around you.

Where your heart is, there your treasure will be also. Set your heart in His presence, and you will possess the only treasure that lasts forever.
