152 – Sometimes, the best prayer is just being in God’s presence

A lot of people think they don't know how to pray. They assume you have to say certain words and phrases in a certain way for your prayer to be "right."

But there is no on right way to pray. It's more about feeling God's presence. Then the right ideas will come to you to pray with.

Being in God's presence

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, the idea of just being in God's presence.

In this week's episode, I talk about how:

• Moses felt God's presence at the burning bush, but wanted more
• Moses felt God's presence after being on Mt. Sinai, but wanted more
• Moses eventually learned that God's presence was enough
• The book of Psalms assures us of God's presence
• God told Jeremiah that He was always present
• And why some people are afraid of God's presence
• I felt God's presence in an electrical storm
• Jesus experienced God's presence, even on the cross

Practice being in God's presence

How would you feel if you were completely aware of God being present with you? Would you act differently? Would you think different thoughts? How would it change what you say or don’t say?

How would it change the way you think about and treat other people? How would it change the way you see and treat yourself?

I encourage you to practice being in God's presence.

Take some time when you’re not trying to solve a problem, not praying for anything in particular.

Just practice being in God’s presence.
