Practicing the Presence of God - a discipline for Christian growth

Practicing the presence of God may be the most important Christian discipline in the believer's quest to grow closer to God and to mature in his or her walk. Those who successfully practice the presence of God will necessarily grow in all other areas of their Christian walk. This blog is an open discussion about this discipline.

Name:

I'm a Christian interested in seeing other believers discover a more intimate relationship with God that is possible through practicing His presence.

Can you remain in God's presence with a busy mind?

One of the challenges of practicing God's presence is to remain focused on Him when your mind is busy. I recently returned from a business trip where I had to do a lot of networking, socializing, politiking, or whatever you want to call it. I found it extremely difficult to remain focused on the Lord in that setting. I believe it is possible to remain in God's presence in any situation, but I sure had a tough time of it.

Has anyone else had any success in similar settings? I suspect part of the problem is that in this type of business setting, I am too focused on my business interests and needs rather than remaining focused purely on God's will. I need to experiment with letting the Lord guide all of my conversations in this setting.

Hello Mate.
A very good article mate. I find it hard at times to clear my mind of everything that is going on in there. Stressful job, issues ongoing etc. But we can do all things through CHRIST, may He transform us by the renewing of our minds.
