Lord, as the hymn says, “I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord; no tender voice like Thine, can peace afford. I need Thee, O I need Thee, every hour I need Thee! O bless me now, Savior, I come to Thee.” As I face the trials and tribulations of life as well as the joys, help me remember that I need Thee. I sin in big and small ways every day. I need Thee, O I need Thee. I do or say things I shouldn’t and I don’t do or say things I should. Every hour I need Thee! Be with me, Lord, when I recognize that I need Thee and when I don’t. Every hour, be with me. Amen.
