Practicing God’s Presence

When I talk about the “practice” of anything, I mean, the actual application or use of an idea or belief, as opposed to theories relating to it. With that in mind, practicing God's presence means to live in a constant, conscious awareness of God's nearness throughout your entire day, and seeking a close, intimate relationship with Him! Practicing God’s presence involves developing and cultivating a mindset of conscious, ongoing fellowship with Him through practices like prayer, reading Scripture, and living according to His teachings, which brings an awareness or understanding of His joy, wisdom, peace, strength, and guidance. It's about awakening to the reality of His already indwelling presence (John 14:15-17). It’s about becoming “God-inside-minded.” Be encouraged!
