Your Presence, My Rest

Lord God,

You have spoken these precious words: “My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.”

I receive them now as Your personal promise to me.

Father, go with me today. Let Your presence be the atmosphere I walk in—not just beside me, but surrounding me, filling every room I enter, every conversation I have, every decision I face.

When I feel alone, remind me that You are near.

When the path feels uncertain, let me know You are already ahead.

When my heart is restless, speak peace over me and give me the rest that only You can give.

I do not ask merely for strength or answers—I ask for You. Your nearness is my good. Your presence is my rest.

Thank You that You do not send me out alone. You go with me. And in Your presence, I find rest for my soul.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

You are not alone

"And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed" —Deuteronomy 31:8

Verse 1
I’ve seen the lightning flashing,
  And heard the thunder roll;
I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing,
  Trying to conquer my soul;
I’ve heard the voice of Jesus,
  Telling me still to fight on;
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.

Chorus
No, never alone,
  No, never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone;
No, never alone,
  No, never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
    Never to leave me alone.

Verse 2
The world’s fierce winds are blowing,
  Temptations are sharp and keen;
I feel a peace in knowing
  My Savior stands between;
He stands to shield me from danger,
  When earthly friends are gone,
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.

Verse 3
When in affliction’s valley,
  I’m treading the road of care,
My Savior helps me to carry
  My cross when heavy to bear;
My feet entangled with briars,
  Ready to cast me down;
My Savior whispered His promise,
  Never to leave me alone.

Verse 4
He died for me on the mountain,
  For me they pierced His side,
For me He opened that fountain,
  The crimson, cleansing tide;
For me He waiteth in glory,
  Seated upon His throne;
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.
