Immanuel: God With Us

"Everywhere and always God is with us, near to us and in us.  But we are not always with [God], since we do not remember [God]. . .  Take upon yourself this task--to make a habit of such recollection.  Make yourself a rule always to be with the Lord, keeping your mind in your heart, and do not let your thoughts wander; as often as they stray, turn them back again and keep them at home in the closet of your heart, and delight in converse with the Lord."

A prayer for always, but especially for Advent.
