God’s Presence Goes with Us

Increasing our Awareness of God’s Presence

Gen 2:7

Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Exodus 33:15–17

Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all other people on the face of the earth?

Matt 28:18-20

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Prayer Guide

Take time today to be increasingly aware of God’s presence as you participate in His mission.

• Take time now to simply breathe, sit and feel your breath slowly inhaling and exhaling. Focus on God and His presence.

• Let praise and adoration come as you thank Him for his presence. Write words of praise, thanksgiving and adoration to hang on the tree.

• Take some clay … shape and mould with the clay as you ask God what He wants to breathe life into. Take time as you touch the clay, as you listen to Him.

• Thank Him for his creative and inspiring presence.
