The Practice of the Presence of God

 

The Practice of the Presence of God is the perfect prayer because it understands everything and overlooks nothing. ~ Fox, Emmet.Find and Use Your Inner Power (p. 166). New Albany. Kindle Edition.

How do you practice the presence of God?
I would suggest a mental soundtrack
along the lines of, “Be still and know that I am God.”
“I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me
A sinner condemned, unclean…”
“I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.”
And he said, “My presence will go with you,
and I will give you rest.”
“You will seek me and find me,
when you seek me with all your heart.”
“Let us then with confidence draw near
to the throne of grace,
that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help in time of need.”
Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him and eat with him,
and he with me.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
I’d stay in the garden with Him
Tho’ the night around me be falling;
But He bids me go; thro’ the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling.
Let us practice the presence of God today.
