The First Practice
God is Here
Recognizing His Presence
“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there.”
Psalm 139:7–8
He's Already Here
God’s presence isn’t something we need to chase. Its something we wake up to.
He is already here. Right now. Not just in sacred spaces or spiritual highs, but in the middle of regular, everyday life.
Jesus didn’t just teach about God’s presence. He lived from it, and He showed others how to do the same.
You don’t have to wait for a feeling or a sign.
Can you see it?
Some call it the presence of the Holy Spirit. Others speak of abiding in Christ, walking with God, or the nearness of the Kingdom.
However it’s described, the message is the same: God is here in the ordinary every day moments - like a friend beside you.
You don’t have to strive or prove anything. Just pause and begin to notice.
Sometimes the most powerful shift is simply choosing to see differently - then respond like it's true.
Practicing His Presence
Pause before you begin. Take a breath and remember: you’re not alone.
Say it out loud or in your heart: "Jesus, you are here."
Let that truth settle, even if your mind resists. We're not waiting for a feeling, just walking in what’s true.
Go for a walk and talk with God like He’s right there with you.
Sit in silence and listen.
Read Scripture slowly, letting it remind you He’s with you.
Set a phone reminder: “God is here.”
Before meetings or moments of stress, pause and remember.
Reflect at the end of the day: Where did I notice Him?
Common Challenges & Encouragement
That’s okay. This isn’t about feelings - it’s about believing what’s already true.
Of course it is. But awareness grows with practice. The more you remember, the more real it becomes.
That’s normal. Just start again. Even small moments of awareness can reshape your day.
It is simple—but that doesn’t make it small. Often the simplest truths are the most powerful.
