[0:01] Guys, we're not so much, but there's
[0:02] sometimes that that I do.
[0:05] And it's that kind of conversation that
[0:06] God wants to have with you. Tell me
[0:08] about your day.
[0:10] Tell me what's bothering you.
[0:12] Oh, my husband, you know, did this and
[0:14] that, whatever. So, Lord, that Henry,
[0:16] he's just, you know,
[0:18] whatever. Talk to him. Simple
[0:20] conversation with him.
[0:22] All day long, every day.
[0:24] Know that he is with you right there.
[0:27] And when you forget to do so,
[0:29] when you forget that he's present with
[0:31] you, because he is right now, he never
[0:33] leaves your side, return to him without
[0:35] disquieting yourself. What does that
[0:36] mean?
[0:37] Don't be bothered by the fact that you
[0:39] forgot. Just come right back and say,
[0:41] Lord, I'm sorry.
[0:42] What a wretch I am to have forgotten
[0:44] you, my Lord and my God.
[0:46] Help me do better and keep focusing.
[0:49] And so, as you're driving, as you're
[0:51] working, as you're whatever you're
[0:53] doing,
[0:54] he's there, and you're asking him for
[0:56] advice, you're telling him
[0:58] what you want, whatever. Converse with
[1:01] him.
[1:05] The The very fact that you return back
[1:07] to him with greater love and trust in
[1:09] him, this trust honors God much more and
[1:12] draws out great graces. He's pleased
[1:15] that you're like, Lord, I'm sorry, I
[1:17] forgot about you. I'm coming back. He
[1:19] loves it when you come back.
[1:20] He loves it when you come back. So,
[1:22] don't be disquieted by that. Recognize
[1:24] that God's presence is with us,
[1:25] recognizing God is ultimately present
[1:27] with us, and address ourselves to him at
[1:29] every moment.
[1:31] Beg his assistance. Know that you're
[1:33] going to have doubts,
[1:35] but beg his
[1:36] his help in performing
[1:38] those things that he requires of you
[1:40] throughout the day.
