Practice the Presence of God:
50+ Way to Enjoy God All Day
Life is busy. In fact, it’s often so busy that we forget to enjoy the very One for whom we were created. Thankfully, we don’t have to stop working to enjoy time with God, but instead, we can learn to fellowship with God throughout the day, even in the midst of serving Him.
This short guide has over 50 simple ways to help you practice the presence of God throughout your busy workday so that you can draw closer to the God who has already drawn close to you.
Turning Tension to Trust
A-Z Characteristics of God
When worry comes knocking, our first impulse is often to hustle it into silence.
We rise early, burn the midnight oil, scribble endless to-do lists, plot every course, respond to emails with our sandwich in one hand, and try to forecast every conceivable future problem.
It’s a tiring ballet of busyness where worry is momentarily banished—only to return at the next ping of the inbox, ring of the phone, or the breaking news alert. Then, the cycle revs up once more.
Thankfully, we can repurpose these very “skills” we employ in worrying to transform our tension into trust with these A-Z Characteristics of God.
Start With Who
God has a vision, purpose, and mission for you. It’s helpful to know what they are and to keep them top of mind.
But even when you do, visible progress on these life goals can often be incredibly slow.
The good news, however, is that this doesn’t mean God isn’t working. He is. In fact, it is during the seemingly stagnant times that God is doing His deepest work, that of shaping us into the image of His beloved Son.
In this powerful exercise, you’ll identify a few of the top character traits God is inviting you to embody in this current season of your life which will allow you to notice His work, encourage your heart, and cooperate more fully as you respond to Him.
