It used to be very difficult for me to feel God's presence during prayer, until one day I started doing something different...
Instead of uttering any words, I merely pondered the awesomeness and holiness of our God. Almost immediately, I felt His presence!
I tried this for 3 days and got the same result. I was baffled! I asked, "Lord, why has it been so easy for me to get into your presence these last 3 days?"
And I heard the Spirit say, "How did Jesus teach His disciples to pray?" I started quoting the Lord's prayer found in Matthew 6:9-11: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name..." THAT'S IT!
Jesus taught His disciples to come into the presence of God with holy awe and reverence! It cultivates an environment for the Holy Spirit's power to change our lives and the lives of others.
I want this for you—and God wants it even more! He longs for an intimate relationship with you where you can receive His presence in a fresh new way! On this National Day of Prayer, let's all press in with holy awe and wonder before our Creator and watch in faith how He changes our lives!
