One mother shared how she had to find a new way of connecting with Jesus during the dark days of her post-natal depression. In these emotionally strained months she had very little energy to carve out time for the classic devotion time. She started chatting to Jesus, throughout the day, not in a formal way, but comfortable - just as you would a friend. Her life is busy, and she shares honestly that it is not as though she does not live in God's presence every minute, but she is growing in this discipline of being conscious of God's companionship throughout the day. It is brings her life. She has also started inviting her children into her chats with God. Driving to school in the morning she moves easily from conversing with them about their day, to praying with them about the day.
"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call
him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us." Matthew 1: 23
Immanuel - God With Us
Every moment
