How to Prepare for God’s Presence – By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi Oshinowo

One of the most important habits that we must cultivate in our Christian walk is spending time in the presence of God on a daily basis.

In addition to singing hymns and worship songs, here are some scriptures that we can meditate on to prepare our minds and hearts to spend time with our God.

💐Psalm 62:5–6

Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.

💐John 10:27

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

💐Psalm 37:7a, 23–24

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for Him to act. The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall,

for the Lord holds them by the hand.

💐John 14:26

But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—He will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.

💐Psalm 25:4–5

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.

Lead me by Your truth and teach me, for You are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in You.

💐We must be still in His presence and know that He is God. Psalm 46:10.

💐Pray, talk to God about any and all things. He loves us enough to listen to the details and issues that we bring to Him in prayer.

PRAY ALONG

Father, here I am — quiet and still in Your presence. Watching and waiting for Your direction and guidance. I love this promise … You “delight in every detail of my life.” You know everything about me. You know my weaknesses and You are aware of every stumble. Yet, by Your grace, You will not let me fall. Your hand is always there to help me and hold me. You faithfully forgive my foolish and distracted busyness and consistently call me back into Your holy presence where Your love surrounds me. Oh, how I thank and praise You! In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. Amen 🙏🏾

Have a blessed day ❤️
