What does it mean to practice the presence of God? 

To me, it means being aware of God's abiding presence in our daily lives. It is a practice, which will take mindfulness on our part and presenting our lives as an act of worship to God daily. 

Here are a few ways we can practice the presence of God:

Listen to godly music, particularly praise and worship music. 

View and align our daily activities, including work and interactions with others, with worship to God. 

Be mindful of the content we engage with and its influence on our spiritual lives. Try to avoid distractions that may steal our affections for God. 

Action steps:

Reflect on how you can practice the presence of God in your daily life.

Evaluate the content you consume and consider whether it is stirring your affections for God or taking away your attention.

Adopt a mindset of gratitude and trust in God's purpose, even when faced with minor inconveniences or disruptions.
