Genesis 32:1-2 “So Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I …

When we are in the midst of a time of crisis, intense grief, or a long-term trial, we may lose the sense of feeling God’s presence. Calming our mind is the first step in preparing to seek him.
