God's Presence is Everywhere
The Christian faith teaches that one of God's attributes is that God is omnipresent. This means that God is present everywhere. "For in [God] we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28; cf. Isaiah 57:15). As St. Augustine confessed to God, "You were more inward to me than my most inward part" (Confessions III.6.11), or as Meister Eckhart proclaimed, "God is nearer to me than I am to myself; my existence depends on the nearness and presence of God."
When have you experienced God's Presence in your life? How did it make you feel? When have you felt separated or distant from God? How did that make you feel? When did you last spend time in solitude, free of outside distractions, resting in God's Presence and Love?
