Practical Tips for Living in the Presence of God

By: Sister Jeannine Marie, O.C.D.

Living in the Presence of God can be a daunting task in this busy hectic world we live in. The top of the ocean may be swarming with rough and crashing waves but if we go a little deeper we will find the tranquil calm. It is similar to our souls. God is always waiting within. So, let’s go deeper, take the dive!

  • When you arise in the morning, say a quick “hello” to God, then give Him a nod at times throughout the day.
  • As you turn the key in the ignition of the car, ask God to join the journey, then sit back and enjoy the ride.
  • We spend a great deal of time going from one room or place to another, develop the habit of just saying a quick “hi” as you do so.
  • God created all the beauty in nature for your enjoyment. Take a moment to thank Him while you enjoy it.

Our Lord said to St. Faustina: “When I come to a human heart in Holy Communion, my hands are full of all kinds of graces which I want to give to the soul, but souls do not even pay attention to me. They leave me to myself and busy themselves with other things … they treat me as a dead object” (Diary 1385).
