Have you ever been in someone’s presence and suddenly felt… smaller? Uncertain? As if who you are and what you believe were being quietly questioned? Maybe you felt unheard, criticized, or even unloved. Instead of feeling strengthened, you felt diminished.
That is never the case in the presence of Jesus.
When I am in His presence, I feel safe. I feel loved. I feel heard. There is nothing comparable to being near the Lord. In His presence, something shifts. Something realigns. Something changes — at least it should.
It certainly does for me.
When I spend time with Him, I leave refreshed, refined, and rejuvenated. The noise of the day grows quieter. The frustrations lose their weight. The obstacles no longer feel overwhelming. Why? Because my trust has been repositioned — not in circumstances, not in people, but in the Lord.
He is Jehovah Shalom — the God of Peace.
In His presence, peace replaces pressure.
Calm replaces criticism.
Trust replaces tension.
And the heart that once felt unsettled finds rest.
