When we reflect on the hymn “Abide with me,” we realize that as followers of Christ it has everything to do with our living. Since there is no corner of our lives that should not be affected by the presence of God, the longing that He would abide with us is actually the most reasonable thing we could desire. Of course, the presence of our  Heavenly Father is not something we need to plead for, as it is promised to us. In Hebrews 13:5, we read, “For [God] Himself has said: “I will never leave you not forsake you”. Not only is God’s presence the key to our contentment, but it is also the promise that can give us wisdom, peace, comfort, and strength, no matter where we are or what we are doing. There is no situation unusual enough to conclude that God will not be with us and guide us to live for Him, serve Him, and honor Him. — Hebrews 13:5
