This morning something prompted me to notice that the prayer of a Christian asking Godde to be with them each day might also be framed as a thank you. We who believe and trust already, know Christ’s presence is always with us. (Even though we are apt to mindlessly take it for granted far too often.)  

I’m thinking that ask is akin to a child daily requesting her mother to be her mother - asking for something that is already a fact. So I’m changing my prayer. I know Christ’s Presence is with me always.  Even when I’m prone to wander or forget; fail to honor that reality, Christ’s Grace is holding me. Through marvelous moments or unthinkable misery - and I am deeply thankful.
