18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;”
Ephesians 6:18
We take pictures in our minds and it takes us mere seconds to frame a judgment. Part of
this is brain efficiency—our brains need structure and simplicity to function well. If we are
not careful we can walk through each day like a sleep walker, never fully present or paying
attention to the people and opportunities around us, or worse yet, never seeking God during
our day to day life.
When we intentionally slow down and set rhythms in place to connect with God, we begin to
sense His Spirit and presence throughout the day. We notice the nudge to call a friend and
ask how they are doing. We breathe in the scent of nature and slow our footsteps as we exit
work, thanking Him for vibrant color and an evening of rest. We pause before turning on
music to talk to God.
Instead of relegating God to a specific time each day, intentionally seek to weave your
awareness of Him throughout your day. He is present and waiting for you to invite Him into
each moment of your unfolding life.
A point to ponder…
Few people arise in the morning as hungry for God as they are for cornflakes or toast and
eggs.
