God is present. In this now moment we have all we need.  God does not create deficit.  One of the benefits of my daily prayer and meditation dates with God each morning is the reminder to be in the moment I am in.  My mind will wander, I will feel uncomfortable in my body, I will want to do anything but be where I am. Still, every morning I show up.  I do it because it is the one commitment I have to myself and to my Creator that I choose to keep.  I have never felt a lack of God’s now presence because I didn’t do it perfectly or because I didn’t want to be in the now.  God is always present the moment I am in the now, wherever I am in my day.  There is no place or time where God is not, but I am more likely to get the benefit of God’s presence if I choose to be with God now.  It has taught me what a commitment to life is.  It has shown me the power of love and acceptance.  I would rather go without food or water than skip my date time.  The times I can be in its nowness with the greatest focus are the moments I feel as though God’s warm hand is directly on my heart and feeding my soul.  It is what I go to when I take a breath throughout the day.  It is where I can remember that even when I feel like life is not going my way or falling apart, right now, God loves me exactly as I am.  There is no other time than now.

If God is everywhere and every time, how might you become aware of God right now?  Share in the comments.
