Introduction

There are a number of excellent reasons for sitting and soaking in the Presence and Love of God. Some are to do with preparing us for prayer and others for the way it affects us spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. These are itemised briefly as follows:

1. Revelation of the love, power, wisdom and faith of God. To sit in the presence of God and soak in His Presence is to become conscious of His Sovereign Being, and become aware of who He is and what He can do.

2. Renewal of health in every area can be a reality, as the power and health of God enfolds us in love. This may not always happen, but one cannot remain unaffected by being in the stream of God's overwhelming love.

3. Recognition of our sin and unworthiness may be alongside our realisation of His love and mercy towards us. The Spirit of God brings His own convicting presence, for which there is no substitute.

4. Realisation of who and what we are gives us a healthy perception of ourselves as people of worth, for whom Jesus died. We are sons and daughters of the living King.
