MY PRESENCE WILL GO WITH YOU, and I will give you rest. Wherever you are, wherever you go, I am with you! This is an astonishing statement, yet it is true. My unseen Presence is more real than the flesh-and-blood people around you. But you must "see" Me with the eyes of your heart and communicate with Me through prayer, trusting that I really do hear and care. I assure you that your prayers make a difference, though not always in ways you can see or in the timeframe you desire. I factor the prayers of believers into My sovereign governing of your world—in ways far too complex for finite minds to grasp. Remember: As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways and thoughts higher than yours. Since My methods of working in the world are often mysterious, it's important to take time to be still and know that I am God. Sit quietly in My Presence, breathing in My Peace, and I will give you rest. Pt1
