Presence.

This is what I needed this morning. My heart and mind has been in so much unrest lately. I know in His presence I find my rest but it's so hard to actually "feel" it because of the war that attacks my mind and heart. And that's what has been leading to my "fears" as mentioned in my previous post. But God knows me and my heart. I turned to this morning's devotional and it hit the spot.

"Having the reality of God's presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually. Our problems arise when we refuse to place our trust in the reality of His presence. The experience of the psalmist speaks of- "We will not fear, even though..." (Psalm 46:2)-will be ours once we are grounded on the truth of the reality of God's presence, not just a simple awareness of it, but an understanding of the reality of it." -Oswald Chambers
