Experience God's Presence Tonight by Joyce Meyer

I read this devotion last night and it honestly was a right on time devotion. I just had one of those days where I know I should have spent time in God's face instead of spending time on facebook. By the end of the night I was overwhelmed, offended, and irritated by my own self. Then I read this devotion before bed and although it didn't make me feel completely better, it reminded me that seeking God honestly is my true source of peace and validity.

Ending your Day Right: Experience God's Presence Tonight
by Joyce Meyer
My soul yearns for You [O Lord] in the night, yes, my spirit within me seeks You earnestly. Isaiah 26:9

Have you ever noticed that in the quiet darkness of night there seems to be something special about the presence of God?
He is always with you, even during the daytime, and you can talk to Him anytime, even when you're busy. But during the day there are many distractions that keep you from focusing on His presence for an extended period of time. And by the end of the day you've often experienced problems and frustrations that can cause you to feel lonely and needy. It is then that you can finally give time and attention to the one who is the answer to your needs.
When you yearn for God in the night, seek Him earnestly, and you'll find He will minister to you in a special way. He will provide answers to any problems you may have, and He will give you peace and rest.

Kat's Notes: Honestly, after the day yesterday I will be spending today in God's full presence. No phone, no computer, just me and God today, because I let situations cause me to be tossed off balance and take my eyes off of his calling for me. Honestly, by the end of the day I had tainted my testimony and truly had to humble myself and admit that I make mistakes. I allowed myself to become so frustrated and irritated that I spoke out of line and did exactly the opposite of what my good intentions were designed to do. I plan to experience God's presence today and renew my experience tonight when I can shut off all my duties and focus 100% on God. I hope this helps someone else that suffered a case of the mondays (or whatever day of the week that kicked your behind) and felt defeated. Our victory comes in God.
