How to Be Present in a World That Never Stops Moving

We live in the most connected era in history. With a tap, we can reach anyone in the world. Yet somehow, we often feel distant from the people right next to us—our parents, roommates, even close friends. Why?

The truth is, constant digital connection can actually disconnect us from the present. Our attention is scattered, pulled between apps, messages, and thoughts. It’s easy to be physically present but emotionally checked out.

Choose to be fully present wherever you are. It’s a simple but powerful mindset: “If I’m here, I’m going to be here.”

The same goes for our relationship with God. Whether it’s a quiet prayer or a few seconds of reflection, what matters is intentionality. When we give God our full attention—even for a moment—He meets us there and gives back in ways we can’t always see right away, but often feel deeply.

Be Present. With People. With God.

technology allows us to be connected to anybody at any time around the world but yet do our present relationships suffer? give time to your people, God being the most important one
