I recently had an experience of God’s presence with me. I was getting ready to go for a run, lying
down outside doing some stretching. Looking up at the stars, I had a feeling of peace and love come upon
me. The world looked different, somehow, more beautiful, and yet it hadn’t changed.
This experience was short-lived, like other similar experiences I’ve had, and it is a moment which I treasure. It brought assurance that God really is here with us in and through this world. In spite of how difficult things may get, there really is nothing to fear. It was a glimpse of the world beyond the veil, God’s presence, made knowable for a moment.
“O God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be our
strength. Lift us, we pray, by the might of your spirit to your presence, that we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
The Lord bless you and keep you, Brad+
