God, I know without you I would be empty, my life would have no meaning.  You alone give me purpose, that is why when I am not connecting with you regularly through prayer and the sacraments I feel lost and disoriented.  My prayer today is to keep you beside me throughout my day, you are seated next to me in the car, at lunch, in my meeting.  Lord, I need you next to me, beside me, within me to make me feel complete.

Help me in my desire to have you near, not to forget to also listen to what you have to say.  Let me not seek only your presence but the words you have for me, even if they are not the words I wish to hear.  May I be open to whatever you have planned for me.
