in what ways do you remain aware of God's presence?

Our existence as humans is a temporary state, so to think of someone who has passed away is simple, however life goes on with out there existence, however the energy which makes up there body remains, as nothing destroys energy, they can only alter its form.\n\nNow try to imagine the non existence of our universe, or the non existence of matter which makes up this planet, and the sun, and everything which is our universe.\n\nThat I would say is not so simple to imagine, because we know it to exist, and with direct respect to its existence where do you suppose it came from, can something as tangible as energy, matter, and the universe, non energy, anti matter just exist with out a beginning, or creation.\n\nWell I believe that this is the greatest proof of God Almighty, as I see the proof, and I dare any single person, our group of people to prove differently.\n\nI not only know that God Almighty exists but I shall find him and become God like in the process, and with that knowledge anything, and everything becomes not only possible, but probable.\n\nThe Bible tells us that we were created in Gods image, and Jesus Christ after raising Lazarus from the dead, after he had past away three days prior said Greater things than I have done you shall do also.\n\nI believe that it is Gods wish for us to unravel the mysteries of the universe, and join him.\nAt this point in time we are not even capable of bringing a person back from the dead who has passed away six minutes prior.\n\nI believe in God, and I believe we can become God like and I shall pursue that end, and with Gods help, we shall all become immortal, and populate the universe with total knowledge comes total understanding, and total bliss.

For me it is remembering that what I do for others I am doing for Christ. God loves me and He wants me to take care of myself and His children. I know that no good deed will go unoticed through him. So even if the hobo on the street goes and blows the money on liqour.... I tried. Or even if I help someone and they dont accept or ridicule me, God sees that. I am a foreigner here.

Your desire to hear God is the strongest thing you have going for you in your quest to hear him. Yes, an attitude of prayer will help open you to him. And he hears you prayers, but it may not be his desire to answer so that you are aware of him. Instead he may answer within you to that part of you that is in communication with him, your soul. His answer will then manifest itself in you as if it actually was you who determined it. God may not be ready to speak with his still voice within you since you may not be ready to hear him. Often, I think, one has to be prepared first, and God will do this in his way. Have patience, and it will come.\n\nWe have an intermediary with God who is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who carries our prayers to God, and the Holy Spirit brings our answers to us. Then it is the Holy Spirit within us that we can hear in supernatural ways when God desires us to hear him.

Phillipians 4:6-7\n"Don't worry about anything.  Instead pray about everything.  Tell God what you need, and THANK him for all he has done.  If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.  His peaace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ".\n\nI used to worry a lot, now I leave it upto God and try not to take back control.  Life got much better with him in control rather than me.

When I have felt God's presence it was usually with a lot of other believers during a time of prayer and meditation.  When I have been meditating by myself, or when I have been mentally going about some depressing fact and She steps in to bring me back to reality.\n- Oh yeah stopping to take a breath and look at Her beauty in the world also has made me feel God's Precence\n\nSo I think the key here is being open to feel God's presence.  Meditation helps, but I think most of it is being spiritual and open, having faith and taking the time to listen to what God may be saying.

God can do a whole lot more than we can if we trust him and let HIM lay out the battle plan. Want to know the best way to get in sync with HIS plan to save the world? Here are some tips:  \nPraise - I tell God all the ways he is so good\nWaiting - I just close my eyes and be silent in his presence\nConfession - Acknowledge before God that you have failed in some areas of your life and ask for help with those areas.\nPetition - I ask him for good things and needs in my life\nThanksgiving - I thank him for all of the good things he has done for me\nAsk - Ask him specific questions you have about your life\nScripture Prayer - Asking for specific things from the Bible\nForgiveness - I think about the people that have affected me negatively and tell Him that I forgive them and ask Him to help them not to do those things again.\nIntercession - I pray for people I know that have needs.\n\nIf you practice these things and keep an obedient willing heart, watch the victory and souls unfold right in front of you!!!!

God makes himself evident to me through...\n1)  His holy, inspired Word.  It is an objective truth, perfect always, something we can always rely on.\n2)  Creation.  Creation itself declares the glory of God (Romans 1:27).\n3)  In my own spirit.  By speaking to me, comforting me, giving me guidance and direction and pouring out His Spirit and love upon me.  \n4)  In my family.  The wonderful wife, parents, and sister that He has given me, as well as the child that is on the way!

It happens- I wondered away from God for 20 years, but God patiently waited for me to come back and I feel a closeness I never thought possible. To feel closer to God, try to incorporate your spirituality into your daily life- if you hold the elevator for someone, silently think to yourself I do this for you Lord, If you help a stranger or do any act of kindness, do the same thing. It will bring your focus back to God. Be Blessed, God loves you and will never abandon you. God will patiently wait for you. I know from experience.

God had me in mind before I was born, there is a verse I know of that says "I know even the number of hairs on your head, but if your asking that is  the first sign that your listening to God's quiet voice, it takes time to understand but praying and reading the Bible (one you can understand) does help you get the answers. A kind person who understands what and how God works in our daily life would help you out, find a local coffee house, mission, someplace informal. Sometimes going to a Church is hard to do, but what do you really have to loose?

It is okay if you think I am nuts but here goes.I talk to God by prayer, sometimes silently and sometimes outloud. God talks to me occassionaly at His time frame, In other words I don't have to be in a prayerful or spiritual mood for Him to speak. I cannot explain it but when He speaks to me, it is not silent in my head and it is not audible so that others can hear it but it is clearly audible to me.So yes, I have a relationship with Him. I also can feel His prescense in my life.Look to John 8:47,& 10:26-30 Jesus stated my sheep hear my voice and they know me(Jesus) and follow me. God may not communicate with everyone the same as He does with me but if you do not hear His voice in some manner then you don't know Him. My relationship with Him indeed started out as faith but you are correct in the change that takes place. I cannot prove this relationship to anyone but to me it is fact. You can not achieve fact without first having faith.

Take 5 deep breaths, and say a prayer that God will give you strength. I have a hard time with this, and I just pray and repeat the thought in my head that if God is my light who should I fear? Nobody can touch me if I trust him

Have you tried reading it from the MESSAGE translation?\n\nPhilippians 4:4-9  \n4Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! 5Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!\n\n    6Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. 7Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.\n\n    8Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. 9Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

God is a firm connection between all of us.  We all have many things in common which connect us to each other.  What one of us will do has an impact on each other so we need to be thoughtful about how we live.  I think even if we don't see someone what we do can have a profound outcome either good or bad.

First of all: I consider it really important to base your faith upon something that is reasonable, because if you do not do so, when faith is replaced by doubt, it would be really difficult to sustain. according to this, I consider that God is evident because: if we, the world we live in, and the whole universe surrounding us exist, then we could say that "Emptiness" (understand this as the lack of everything  doesn't exist), therefore Everything (understand this as the total lack of Emptiness) exists, therefore God (or something that could be considered to be infinite and eternal exists.=)
