Awareness of God

Practice of the Week When you feel distant from God this week, don’t immediately try to fix it—start by noticing it. Take 5–10 minutes in a quiet space and ask yourself: What is currently taking up the most space in my mind? Where have I been emotionally exhausted or overstimulated? Have I mistaken noise, stress, or distraction for spiritual distance? Then gently shift from analyzing to awareness. Instead of trying to “feel” God, simply practice noticing what is already present: A breath you didn’t have to earn A moment of stillness you didn’t create A small sense of grounding, even if it’s faint Write one sentence in your journal: “Today, I notice that God is not absent. I am learning to become aware again.” The goal is not intensity. It is recognition. Because often, what we call distance is just a lack of noticing—and noticing is where awareness begins again.

Why God Feels Distant (Even When He Isn’t)

One of the hardest things to untangle in spiritual life is that our feelings don’t always tell us the truth about reality. Feeling distant from God can come from different places. But the cause is not always the absence of God. Often it is the noise around us that drowns out awareness.

How to Find Wisdom When You Feel Stuck (A Simple Garden Lesson)

Think of ornamental alliums as the overachievers of the family. Just as the Allium rises above the garden bed to see clearly, God invites us to lift our eyes above the “mental fog” of daily chores, work, and stress. When you stop waiting for the fire and start positioning your “umbel” toward the Son, the silence begins to fill with His generous guidance.

How to Recognize God’s Presence in Everyday Life

Knowledge is generally an awareness, understanding, or specific information that you gain through experience, study, or observation. It is something that is learned. It requires you to make the effort to gain the awareness, understanding, or information. From a Biblical perspective, wisdom is much more than knowledge. Wisdom is divine insight that guides you in your life. Wisdom is a treasure given to you, and we should seek it out through our relationship with God.
