God is ever present. He knows no walls, rooms or buildings and hears our prayers even if they are never uttered. This makes me think of Matthew 6:6, “But you, when you pray, enter into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.”
As the full-time chaplain on staff at Bothwell Regional Health Center, when I pray with the sick at the hospital or the terminally ill in their homes, I know God is there. He is there also when I meet with families who are grieving a loss, regardless of location.
