  • Do you long to feel the presence of God in your life? Brother Lawrence became a monk so he could grow close to God, but instead, he was assigned to the kitchen. But he found God there, and his little book, The Practice of the Presence of God, has helped countless millions do the same.
    In this episode of The Living Room Podcast, Joni Eareckson Tada shares how Brother Lawrence's words have shaped her life as we talk about her devotional book, The Practice of the Presence of Jesus.
    This interview - and the book - are filled with treasures! I hope you'll share it with a friend.

    Praise the Lord Jesus! So good to hear genuine conversation from a person who is going through tough times not just temporarily but with a spinal cord injury as a spinal cord injury healthcare worker I can understand how hard it is, still I could see the joy of our Lord in our sister Joni.
    May the Lord bless and keep you in perfect peace! All glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to hear how Joni relies on and practices scripture memory in times of pain. How praying unceasingly for our family and friends throughout daily life brings us into the presence of Christ. Thank you Joni, you are more special than ever to me.

      I understand that some “mystics” were way woo-woo, but many loved God with all their hearts and enjoyed an intensely personal friendship with Him. That is what I want so I’ve learned to glean what is scripturally good and let go of the rest. Which is what we need to do with every author, mystic or not.

    Ich bin an Taubheit grenzend schwerhörig seit Kindertagen. Oft habe ich angst in unbekannten Situationen, besonders, wenn ich wegen einer Untersuchung das Hörgerät beiseite legen muss. Einmal musste ich eine Untersuchung im MRT haben und die schien sich gefühlt endlos hinzuziehen, obwohl es sich nur um höchstens 15min handelte.
    Was habe ich gemacht ? Ich habe in Gedanken ununterbrochen den Namen Jesus gesagt und das hat mir geholfen, dass ich die Untersuchung mit mehr Ruhe durchstehen konnte.

      @@livelovenow8862I honor and appreciate your beliefs on this matter, but respectfully point you to other scripture that don’t speak of the Eucharist as the path to His presence. Many that don’t link the practice to His presence at all. Jesus said, “I will be with you always, even to the end of the age.” And the whole of the New Testament teaches us that He dwells in our hearts by faith and through His Holy Spirit. Communion is a holy and important practice that Christ called us to so that we “Do this in remembrance of me.”

    No!. When we surrender to the Lord and repent, His HolybSpirit comes to indwelling us, give us new hearts and writes God’s laws on it. Heb.8:10 and 19:16. We are continuously in His presence. We have new desires, and love Him and His Words. He leads and speaks to us.Formulas are man made methods and will only bring deceptions. We pray continuously and seek,ask,and knock at heavens door, not the door of humans. These are days of deceptions. “ A broken and contrite heart He will not despise.” Relationship with God is a heart issue.

      Amen! No formulas, only Jesus and living in and from His presence.
