Living in God's Presence

God is everywhere.

Benedict instructs his disciples who might be on a journey, at ministry or doing important tasks away from the monastery at prayer times to remember God's presence with them and to stop and pray wherever they might find themselves. Afterall, God is always present at every moment and in every encounter.

Sometimes it is much easier to just say this than to actually believe that God is with me every single moment of every day. It is much easier to pretend to be unaware of God's presence or care for my life. I need to remember to stay alert and awake everyday to God speaking to me.

What is God's message to me today?
