A prayer to remember God is still with you by Betsy de Cruz, read by Lea Martin.

He said, do not come near, take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you're

standing is holy ground. And he said, I am the God of your Father, the God of Abraham,

the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Exodus 3, 5 through 6. I know Jesus promised to be with

us until the end of the age, but honestly, I often forget his presence. When my day gets busy and

stress levels rise, I fail to remember he's with me. Sometimes I can't see past the trials

and troubles of life, so I just blew sight of Jesus, or I'm so consumed with trying to

power through on my own that I forget I can rely on the power of Jesus.

Maybe you've lost sight of God's presence with you today, trials or trouble or even just a

crazy busy season have made you forget he's with you. Just because we forget God doesn't mean

he forgets us. Moses was busy at his daily work of shepherding when God appeared to him in a

burning bush and turned the very ground Moses was standing on to holy ground. God revealed

himself to Moses to let him know he had seen, heard, and knew the afflictions of his people in Egypt.

He had a plan to deliver them. So what situation are you navigating today?

What deliverance are you praying for? God wants you to know you're not alone. He sees you.

He is with you. God appeared to Moses in a burning bush, but we have the holy spirit

burning inside of us. God turned Moses's shepherding ground into holy ground and your holy ground

is right where you are. God wants to reveal himself to us in the middle of our daily tasks and

worries just like he did to Moses. If you've lost the sense of his presence with you try one of the

three following things. One, begin to worship him and you'll start to see him more clearly again.

Two, draw near to him in prayer. Scripture says when we draw near to God, he draws near to us.

James 4-8. Three, find a promise you can cling to. Remind yourself of God's faithfulness.
