Thy presence enlightens me, Thy presence gives me strength, Thy presence transforms me, Thy presence fills me with life. Jesus, I desire Thee always by my side.
I desire to place Thee in all my thoughts, in my decisions; I desire to keep Thee aware of all things: of my life, of my feelings; I desire to be always with Thee, because, Lord, I am a sinner, I have erred and continue erring; I need Thy example, I need Thy counsel, I need Thy love in order to change. Thy presence has saved me, and today I choose to reaffirm my presence in Thee, so as to remain anchored in Thy love, saved from all hatred, fear, deception, and everything that does not come from God.
