Practicing the Presence of God

In the midst of chaos, it's easy to feel like God is absent. But what if we could cultivate a sense of His presence in every moment?

Scripture Foundation

Matthew 18:20 says, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." Psalm 139:1-4 declares, "You are familiar with all my ways. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us, "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? ...Glory God in your body." Colossians 3:3 reminds us that we are "hidden with Christ in God." These verses reveal God's omnipresent nature, His intimate awareness of our thoughts and actions, and His desire to be present with us.

Main Content
