LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Surely God is in this Place, and I didn’t even know it Jacob laments after waking up after a night of intense struggle. In every moment everywhere and in every aspect of life God is closer than we can ever imagine or contemplate. Even in our darkest hours, in our suffering and pain when all seems hopeless, Christ is upholding us in every aspect of life.

The exalted Christ and the angels of glory surround and hover over us; in the darkest forests at night, they are ablaze lit for those with faith to see. They greet us at the dawning of each new day and offer hope in the heartaches and unanswerable questions of life. For we who are alive, there is an everlasting promise that just like our loved ones who have died we will also reign in resurrection power through the Holy Spirit who sustains our life before and beyond the grave!

Lord, open the eyes of my heart to see your glory every moment of my life!

When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” Genesis 28:16
