Can you seek God in all your endeavors?



Can you seek God in your all endeavors?

Can you feel God in each and every state of affairs of your life?  Most of us make a rat-tat to God’s door in our distress.  No sooner the sorrow disappears; we almost forget His presence except a few minutes of spiritual rituals that too sometimes in the midst of other works.  But there are people who always feel, visualize, consider and recognize the presence of God in all their endeavors.  When we firmly say that you will overcome any hardship, we consider that you do not have to do the same entirely on your own. For you see, God is with you.  You are bound to get big and extra help from Him.  Thus, you have the advantage of courage, strength and inner force than any human being possesses. Any problem when encountered in combination with God’s help will be in complete harmony.  This would be an ideal and perfect matching. 

But how can you be sure that God is with you or near to you to extend help.  We all know, God is there everywhere to help each of us.  He does not discriminate.  He does not produce any junk.  When you perform all evils, you do not visualize His presence with you.  How to feel His presence?  One method is to practice God’s presence all the while.  Talk with Him in the mind.  Try to act like Him, put you all out efforts to ensure that God wants you to live a proper moral and religious life.  Whenever possible, close your eyes for a few seconds and assure that God is with you.

In my professional environment, I come across various personalities.  One of my bosom colleagues has a habit to find fault with others every time.  Once he complained that he was overwhelmed by a problem and he was not able to find any solution.  Since, I know quite well of his nature, any solution to his problem won’t find his satisfaction.  His mind was completely hovered with dark clouds because he was not at all eager to have the solution.  I give him a simple suggestion to feel the presence of God with him in all his endeavors, including the problem being faced by him. Initially, he shows his reluctance to accede to my advice.  But I persistently suggest him to do so; he accepts my suggestion.  Walking along the street, he was to affirm that God actually walked with him.  While eating, he supposed, to feel the presence of God.  When he drove the car, he was to be accompanied by God by his side.  By making him to do so, I put a belief in him that in his problem, he is not alone, God is with him.   So, the suggested action is to practice to feel the presence of God, whatever may be the circumstances, be you are joyous or in the midst of some grief.  This practical sensitization of faith, this objectifying of belief, manifests itself in a logical argument that God is actually with you because He is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent and helping you all the while, whether you need or not.  He does not want your signal.  He does not want anything from you, so why He will be interested to wait for your inkling to help you.  It is your soul through which you have to visualize His presence, act with Him, and take His guidance to overcome your impediments.

Try this and discover the eternal truth of life.  Get with it.  Get with G
