Gaining God’s Presence

Matthew 9:15(b)

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 9:15(b) that there are seasons when God invites us to seek Him more intentionally. When the bridegroom is absent, fasting, prayer, and focus become pathways back into deeper awareness of His presence.

Gaining God’s presence requires recognizing spiritual distance, separating from distractions, and surrendering our desires to Him. In the seeking, hunger grows—and in the hunger, intimacy is restored.

There is a time to celebrate and a time to pursue. In pursuit, we discover God meets us again.
