Father, I Need You Near

Dear Jesus, my mind can’t seem to settle down and just live for today. Please help me find joy in my surroundings and contentment with my circumstances.

Whatever is happening and wherever I am, I want to be completely satisfied and fulfilled, so I’m not constantly yearning for more or something different.

I need You near me each moment, so joy can consume my spirit. For without You, there is no contentment with life, and there is no joy to light up my soul. I ask these things in Your precious name. Amen.
