I know life can get busy, overwhelming, frustrating, enjoyable or otherwise. It can get so _________ (insert your favorite adjective) that we easily neglect to pray and seek God for ourselves. We begin to rely on others, on something we experienced a few months back, a special sermon or a great night of worship. For others we just forget it all together and allow the guilt of not looking for God to keep pushing us back until we just don’t feel like dealing with it all.

My simple hope this morning is that we would become people of His presence. It takes discipline and practice, but it is incredibly important for our lives and for those around us.

You can be a person permeated by the presence of God, it’s right there… waiting on you to pause long enough to admit your desperate need for God. Take some time today and get on your face, turn off the tv and the computer, hide from everyone that knows you… dinner can wait… that person can wait.. e-mails can wait.. it all can wait. Go seek the Lord. It will be the best thing you’ve done in a long time.

love to you,
