St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina once wrote a prayer expressing his absolute dependence on God. Here is a slightly shortened version of it:

“Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.

“Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You, I am without fervor. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without You, I am in darkness.

“Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will. Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much, and always be in Your company.

“Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for. Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.”

Pray always. (Luke 18:1)

Lord, help me see Your presence always.
