How to Practice the Presence of God {pt. 1}

{Consider turning off music by clicking the speaker bar near the bottom of  the left margin?}

 

That’s the way it goes —

It can all keep coming like tidal waves –

the hours like this pounding, relentless surf that keeps slamming you, that just keeps wearing you down.

It’s strange: it only takes this one purposed moment to step back from the edge.

To breathe real slow — YHWH. Your very breath, every breath, the sound of His name.

It’s startling: it only takes one practiced moment to come into your own ocean of grace:

Communion in His presence is always the gift the present moment offers.

It only takes one moment to say His name — and you calm waves.

This is always the realest, hardest, truest thing — the exhaling relief:

you can always have as much of God as you want.

The waves keep coming and I keep saying His name.

And I bend for this one feather brought in on the the waves —

the flying happening even here at the edge…

 

 

 

“Ask and it will be given to you;

seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives;

the one who seeks finds;

and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Matthew 7:7-8
