You are there...

As I awaken each day...you are there.

When I step outside and breathe in the air...you are there.

As I take each step, on hard or soft ground...you are there.

When my mind wanders, or my fears take over...you are there.

When I feel inspired and motivated...you are there.

In times of joy, and I feel just awesome...you are there.

When I just want to shout in anger or cry...you are there.

Whenever I stumble, feel lost, or completely at ease...you are there.

If and when I'm tired and irritable...you are there.

If I want to chat, or unlock my every thought...you are there.

Even when I think you're not listening, or have abandoned me...you are there.

When I question you, expecting answers...you are there.

When I let you down or disappoint you...you are there.

At times, when I can be very impatient...you are there.

As I sit down to rest and reflect...you are there.

When I close my eyes and fall fast asleep...you are there.

Today, I can navigate life's journey...because You are there.

"And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age"

(Matthew 28:20 NRSV).
