How to Feel God’s Presence

Feeling God’s presence is not always constant or obvious. The Bible shows that God’s presence is real even when it is not strongly felt.

What the Bible says

  1. Scripture
    In thy presence is fulness of joy.
    Psalm 16:11

    God’s presence is described as the source of joy.

  2. Scripture
    Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
    James 4:8

    Closeness grows as you move toward God intentionally.

  3. Scripture
    I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
    Hebrews 13:5

    God’s presence is not dependent on your awareness of it.

A grounded way to understand this

Feeling God’s presence can fluctuate, but His presence itself does not. The Bible encourages you to draw near even when feelings are quiet.
