An invitation to be with God
Take a walk somewhere. Find a quiet and peaceful space. Sit down. Ask God to make His presence known to you at this moment. Sense God’s presence all around you and even within you. If it feels natural to do so, allow yourself to linger in this sense of God’s presence. Descend into and soak in this experience for a moment, as though it were a hot bath. If you do not sense God’s presence, wait quietly and patiently for another moment. If you still do not sense God’s presence, don’t let it bother you. Simply lean into your faith that He is here, even when you don’t perceive His presence. Let your heart, mind, and soul remember what it does feel like when you do sense His presence, and let that suffice for now. Choose any of the following sections. Read it once, read it twice, read it again slowly and sit with it. You don’t need to say anything. Lean into what God might be saying to you at this time. Just sit there and wait. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you sense? Do write your thoughts down.
