Reflection

God is all-seeing and all-knowing. It reassures us that God is always aware of our circumstances both in times of joy and in times of struggle. This can be a source of comfort and accountability which reminds us that our actions and intentions whether good or bad are always seen by God. We need therefore to live righteously and ethically knowing that our lives are an open book before God. We must be motivated to pursue goodness and shun evil, not out of fear, but out of a desire to live in harmony with God’s will.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, I am grateful that no part of my life is hidden from You. In moments of joy, I know You are there, sharing in my happiness. In times of struggle, I am reassured that I am not alone, for You are with me, watching and guiding. Your watchful eyes are a source of deep comfort and security.

Teach me, O Lord, to live with the awareness of Your watchful presence. May this knowledge shape my actions and attitudes, leading me to a life of integrity and compassion. Help me to remember that I am never out of Your sight, nor beyond the reach of Your love.

Thank You, Lord, for Your unending care and attention. May my life be a testament to Your grace and a reflection of Your love. I trust in Your good and perfect will, and I rest in the assurance of Your constant watch over me.

In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
