    Seeking God's Presence in Daily Life

    Best quote from Seeking God's Presence in Daily Life

    “

    We're not on a quest to find God elsewhere—we're learning to recognize what has been present all along. Spiritual disciplines are like positioning sails to catch wind; we can't manufacture the wind, but we can arrange our lives to welcome the Spirit's movement.

    ”
