In His Presence

Many Christians find it difficult to spend time in prayer. They run out of words and thoughts and don’t know what to pray. What they do not realize is that we are in the presence of God every moment of our lives. Nothing is hidden from His sight ever. God knows everything, even the intentions of our hearts. He knows our thoughts, our worries, fears and all our emotions.

For a Christian, Jesus Christ is Lord, King, Master of every moment of his life. Every thought is shared with Jesus and every moment is lived for Jesus. No decision is taken without first referring it to Jesus for His guidance. A born again Christian lives only for Jesus, not for himself or for sin. He has no pleasure in the world or the things of the world. Since the moment Jesus came into your heart you only have one desire, to please Jesus.

If you do not any desire to be with Jesus , or to pray, there is something seriously wrong with your relationship with Jesus. Only those who love Jesus and want to be with Him, will enter His kingdom. If you never loved Jesus that much that you wanted to be with Him every moment, then you have never met Him. If you did once love him that much but your feelings have disappeared you need to repent, plead for forgiveness, ask Jesus to remove the stone heart in you and replace it with His love.

The only way that we get to know Jesus is through a constant relationship, making ourselves aware of His presence every moment. Make time to be alone with Jesus. Remove all sources of interruption, switch of the cell phone and TV. (A Christian should not own a TV) A good time is at night, when everybody is asleep. Get up and be alone with Jesus. Wait on Him silently. He will speak to you, into your heart. Spend time in His presence as though you were in His mighty presence before His throne. He will reveal Himself to you.

If you don’t have a desire to be with Him now, you never will. You will come to the end of your life and Jesus will say to you: Go away, I never knew you. Make time now, seek Him with all your heart. Get to know Him before it is forever too late. Spend time in His presence every day.
