Practicing His Presence

is a collection of daily prayers and meditations to give you comfort, guidance, hope, and encouragement every day of the year. Each short session begins with a parallel scripture to deepen your connection to God's wisdom and provides a personal prayer and reflection on God's direction throughout your day. This book will challenge you to expand your outlook, solidify your relationship with God, and strengthen your regular habit of connecting to God. You will see the fruits of His wisdom in your life. The purpose of this book is to guide and support you in drawing near to God on a regular basis so His wisdom will guide your life more and more. As we see in James 4:8, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded." Working with this book will help you develop a simple routine where you can practice His divine presence and find joy and intimacy in your relationship with God. You will see how easy it is to devote eight minutes a day to a lifetime habit that will reward you in ways both seen and unseen. Then you would hardly believe what can happen in your life if you develop the discipline of spending a little time each day listening to the voice of love...you will gradually discover that something is happening of which you were not even conscious. You will discover yourself looking forward to your quiet time, missing it when you can't have it, and wanting more private time with Him. The movement of God's Spirit is very gentle, very soft-and hidden. God will change your heart radically.
