Learning to Delight in the Presence of Jesus

At Focus on the Family, we care about all of your relationships but especially your relationship with Jesus. He is the One you can count on even when you don’t “feel” His presence.

The problem is not that God doesn’t speak to us. More likely, the problem is that we don’t stop to listen to His voice. When we are too busy to pray, we’re too busy to see God moving in our lives.

When we understand God’s invitation to a relationship with Jesus, every moment of life becomes an opportunity to experience Him. We can learn to see Jesus in a beautiful sunset, a baby in our arms, or a good meal with friends. Spirituality allows us to bring our entire range of human existence into an awareness of God’s presence, His delight in us, and His invitation to delight in Him.

I’m talking with author Asheritah Ciuciu on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly about better understanding our Source of true delight and how to turn to Jesus when we’re struggling.

We discussed how to deepen your relationship with Jesus, no matter where you are on that journey, including:

• God’s invitation to delight.

• Robbers of delight.

• God hears our cries and sees our sorrows.

• Restoring our joy.

• Unplugging our ears to hear.

• How our prayers bring togetherness.

• How to become a child again.
