Listen to the Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms Podcast every weekday to start your day in God’s Word and prayer for the people you love most.
What does it mean to dwell? It certainly means to live, to occupy a house or apartment, but we also use the word to mean to point attention toward. If you dwell on something, you focus on it steadfastly, not wavering or casting about for something else.
But why should we? Because He makes clear the path of life, helping us to know where we should step. He fills us with joy as we spend time in his presence, and who doesn’t need more joy?
Do you know what it means…what it feels like to dwell in the Lord’s presence? Listen to today’s episode from Laura Lee Groves.

Your support helps Million Praying Moms keep this podcast going—all funds provide for the work of the team and systems necessary to bring you a new episode each weekday. In fact, the podcast has grown to the point that we desperately need to hire part-time help. In the month of May, we’re asking God to provide 100 new supporters. That’s a big ask, but we believe God can do it.
Would you be a part of His provision?

I have really enjoyed your podcasts and agree – lack of joy is a symptom of taking our eyes off Jesus. I have to remind myself of this often. I also heard you mention social media in a few of your podcasts. I believe that social media can really distract any one of us from all of the above. A good first step should be – get off of social media – ESPECIALLY if someone is not finding joy. I believe that SM is the cause of many joyless hearts – of course, the root comes back to taking our eyes off Jesus, then on to someone’s created illusion of life or spit second image of perfection without the reality of the seconds, minutes, and hours before and after. Our poor children have no idea how sucked into these deceptions they are, but how can we help them understand if we are sucked in too? You may have already addressed this – I haven’t listened to them all, but plan to. 🙂 Thanks again.
This is a great addition to the conversation! Thank you so much. I really think you’re right, and I feel it in my own life as I interact with social media. So true!
