In the final words of Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus gives his followers this promise: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
This promise is not only for the first disciples. It is for every follower of Jesus. It is for the whole church. It is for you.
In this prayer episode, we confess the ways we forget Jesus is near, the ways we worry like we are alone, and the ways we run after things that cannot satisfy. Then we remember the truth: there is nowhere we can go where he is not with us.
