In the Presence of the Living God, one does not continue to "say prayers" except for one: Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done...
This is the "Pearl of Great Price" for which a man will trade everything he has---the Presence of God. His kingdom does not arrive without His Presence, for His very Presence is the sum and substance of His kingdom. Where He is, is Peace, is Truth, is Justice, Righteousness, and Purity without shadow. Where He is, is laughter and joy and simple goodness. Where He is, men forget themselves, trusting everything to His goodness and providence. Instead, they consider the needs of their neighbors and offer whatever they have to supply that need.
Come, Lord Jesus---it is enough if You dwell among us as You have promised from the beginning. Your presence among us creates a Garden of Paradise and the Kingdom of God.
