How to Receive the Presence of God

God is omnipresent and is never far from us. When we go through issues, He waits for us to invite Him into our lives so that He can begin working on our behalf. We desperately need God to help us with things we cannot do on our own. His presence transforms us; when He is with us He works in us to change us in ways we are unable to do on our own. An intimate, personal relationship with Him gives us peace and allows His grace to flow into our lives; we need to know Him well enough to trust and rely on Him in all situations so that we can carry His presence with us wherever we go. We see supernatural manifestations only when we seek God simply for who He is, not for anything we can get from Him. When we are willing to put God first in our lives and let Him lead us, others will be able to see Him through us.
