Busyness is perhaps one of the largest obstacles keeping us from recognizing the presence of God. Many spiritual practices are simply invitations to slowing down and becoming mindful of the present moment. God is always with us and present in every moment and so, when we can intentionally be here, in the present moment, we discover our God who is always waiting for us.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

- Matthew 11:28

Help me to slow down and see your presence in this moment. Amen.
