Jesus promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us. ( Joshua 1:5), He promised that He will be with us always unto the ends of the age. ( Matt. 28:20).
So, be assured that these promises are true and for us as it was for those whom these words were spoken to Joshua and the apostles.
Believe Jesus is truly present with you now whether you are thinking about Him being with you or not, whether you feel as if He is with you or not, whether you sense His presence with you or not.
It was said of Enoch that he walked with God in this life. Also said of Noah and Abraham. Most likely they did not always sense, feel nor were thinking that He was always with them at all times, but He was. Walking with God is done by faith as these patriarchs did, daily seeking to do His will and commune with Him through prayer and worship, but also God was communing with them in the day to day living and activities that occupy our time and minds when we are not directly seeking His Presence. He is still always there with us.
I try to be thankful for this, knowing that there is not a millisecond of time when God is not with me. I am thankful for His constant care and preservation of my life, giving me every breath and heartbeat. I am thankful that I can always turn my heart to Him and inquire about what His will is in any circumstance. And I am thankful for the everyday, seemingly mundane things like a sunny day, rain when it is so needed, the sprouting of seeds for food or flowers, the purr of a cat desiring to be petted and loved on, and the presence of my husband and sons from day to day. I am blessed!
