Craig's Travel Test Of God's Presence
- Craig shares his personal worry about whether God would be "equally real" when he moved to Europe.
- He reports discovering God was just as present in Europe as in the United States, reassuring the practical reach of omnipresence.
Pray Specifically Instead Of Asking For Presence
- When praying for others, thank God for His presence and pray specifically for the help they need (encouragement, strength, guidance).
