You know He watches
I will lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip- He who watched over you will not slumber;
Indeed He who watches over you will neither slumber nor sleep.
(Psalm 121:1-4)
At one of the most difficult times of my life I found God to be with me. It surprised me really, because for some time leading up to that point I hadn't "felt His presence" in my daily life. I felt somewhat removed, and didn't know why. So, when I found myself in L.A., living a way that was less than unexpected, feeling lonely for my friends and family, wondering why I was there, I found God's touch again. It wasn't at a rocking church service. It was while sitting prior to music practice, reading a responsive hymnal out of boredom. It was then that I realized He always wants to reach me. I stop Him. I complain about not feeling His presence because I don't know how rest. He never moves - I do.
He watches over me.
