“Am I a God who is near,” declares the LORD,
“Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?” declares the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:23-24
Sitting in the corner
curled up into a ball
invisible to everyone
but the One who created all.

Pulling covers tightly
covering every inch
hiding from the day
He sees me where I am.
Closet doors shut out
the wind and storm outside
darkness overtakes me
from Him I cannot hide.
God’s presence will be with us
no matter where we are
we can’t escape His nearness
as we seek Him with our heart.

When you’re feeling lonely
or when you fear the night
take comfort in His presence
His love in you abides.
Even when the storm’s not raging
and quiet consumes all around
be still with God your Maker
He’s here with you even now.

Tears of joy. Tears of sorrow. Tears of fear. Tears of change.
Devotions in the mornings blurred one into the other leaving me to wonder what I was missing.
Empty. That’s the only word for it. Just an emptiness combined with dread. If ever there was a week I needed Jesus, it was this week but He didn’t seem to be there.
So I read that…He is present, right there…got teary eyed… then read a blog post on God’s presence. Here’s my favorite part of it (link at the bottom of this post):

God is around you, God is by you, and God wants to be in you. He wants to put his presence inside of you. And here’s why: Because when you feel these pressures coming from the outside of worry and loneliness and discouragement, you need an equal pressure from the inside fighting against them to save them all.” ~Mike Scott, What Do the Scriptures Say? ²
