Always Here, Never Absent
Living Aware of the God Who Never Leaves
Charles Stanley once said,
“If we are a Christian, we are always in God’s presence. Therefore, no need to ask Him to come.”
That truth is both simple and staggering.
Scripture affirms it over and over again.David declared,
“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?” (Psalm 139:7).
Jesus promised, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).
Yet here is the tension:We speak of God as if He is far away.We pray as if He must travel to reach us.We worship as if He must be summoned.
But the real question is not, “Is God here?”
The question is, “Am I aware of the God who is already here?”
Most of us are not struggling with God’s absence.We are struggling with our awareness.We forget that His presence is not an emotional moment—It is a spiritual reality.
God is with you in the kitchen,In the waiting room,In the quiet ache of your heart,And in the uncertainty you don’t speak out loud.
He is nearer than your breath.The invitation is not to bring Him close,But to live like you believe He already is.
Life Application Suggestions
- Where in your daily routine can you pause—even for 60 seconds—to acknowledge God’s presence?
- Practice speaking to Him throughout the day as if He is right beside you, because He is.
Journal Reflection Questions
- Do I function as if God is distant, or as if He is present with me right now?
- What situations in my life would change if I consciously lived with a moment-by-moment awareness of His presence?
- What keeps me from believing that He is truly always with me?
Today’s Prayer Prompt: Father, help me become fully aware of Your constant presence. Remove every lie that tells me You are far away. Teach me to walk through this day with the confidence that You are with me—in every step, in every decision, and in every moment.
