“Even if you don’t feel anything, go on about your day, claiming His Presence every time a shadow crosses your mind.”  Eugenia Price, S.P.S., 1/8

I’m having one of those days when I don’t feel God’s Presence.  He can’t possibly be in me today my feelings tell me--not MY God.  MY God would make me feel bright and cheery.  So this whole notion of “acting as if” He is in me and I in him seems exactly like that---pretending.  But claiming God Presence has a totally different feel to it.  When we claim something it is because it’s already ours.  It’s either waiting for us somewhere else and we have to go pick it up, or it’s right here and we just need to raise our hand and say here I am, that’s mine.  So, Lord, I’m raising my hand and trusting, by faith, that your Presence will shine through me even though I don’t feel it.

“I will not leave you desolate; I will come to you.”  John 14:18
