Longing to recognize God’s presence

This thought separates God’s presence from the ordinary moments of life, but honestly I have had these kinds of moments. Moments where I feel so aware of God’s presence that I don’t want to leave yet in the midst of these moments I find myself becoming distracted with other thoughts.

Maybe it is not so much about these moments, but learning how to use these moments to remind ourselves that God is always with us. Maybe I get distracted by other thoughts because God wants me to recognize that even there, in those “distractions” God will be with me.

I think of you
and my body begins to long for you
now I find myself searching
help me to be aware of your presence

My body warms
shoulders lift
breathing changes
I am overwhelmed with Peace
Your presence I have found

Hold me here

Oh no, thoughts are entering
Go away I want to remain
Back into the world I’ve gone
But your presence I have not forgotten
