Moses' Prayer

I was reading recently about Moses in Exodus 33 as he cried out to God when leading the Israelites. One of the best prayers recorded in scripture: If you don't personally go with us, don't make us leave this place. How will anyone know that you look favorably on me-on me and on your people-if you don't go with us? For your presence among us sets your people and me apart from all other people on the earth." V.15-16

What a prayer! God, we don't want to do anything or go anywhere without your presence! Moses understood that it's only God's presence that sets what we do apart! I know this seems to be stating the obvious, but what would happen if that was truly our approach to everything in life? If we were so hungry for God's presence to lead the way in everything we do that we actually refused to move without it? If we really, really believed that the ONLY thing that sets us apart and makes what we do worth anything is His presence?
