The Power of Presence

Jesus understood the power of presence in helping people make it through difficult times. He spent significant time with His disciples at the Last Supper and in Gethsemane; He told them He was going to prepare a place for them to be with Him forever; He told them to meet Him in Galilee after He had risen; before He ascended, He promised to be with them always. How does Jesus’ presence in your life give you confidence as you face change? Who needs your presence to reassure them as they face change?

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.—John 14:27

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for being with me no matter what changes life brings. Your presence brings me confidence and courage. Help me to encourage others with the encouragement You give me and to be encouraged by their presence in my life. Thank You for the gift of Your presence and the gift of brothers and sisters in Christ. In Your Name, Amen.
