Lord, Abide with Me

Lord Jesus, I know that I am weak on my own,

Please abide with me so I am never alone.

Especially as the light fades, stay with me in the darkness,

Until I fall asleep and am no longer conscious.

Daily my body is in pain and weak,

Please stay with me every day through the week.

I have days when I feel discouraged and like darkness follows me everywhere I go,

Help me feel thy Loving Light on my face so that with you I can glow.

When I am feeling like I am at the end of my rope,

Please be with me so that I can always feel like there is hope.

I don’t know why I have to go through the hard trials that I do,

Just help me to not feel so blue.

Please be with me when I have to wait for answers to my prayers,

And help me feel like you are always there.

I wish that I could see You standing there beside me,

And then maybe from my trials I could feel free.

I know that life isn’t meant to be easy,

Help me feel like You love me deeply.

I know that You do love me for who I really am on the inside,

And that with me, You will always reside.

The Takeaway: There are moments in this life when we all feel alone and like no one understands what we are going through. But we are never alone because we always have our Savior who is waiting and willing to abide with us every minute of every day. We just need to invite Him into our lives and our hearts and there He will stay.
