I want to feel Gods presence

What helped me reconnect with Jesus is regular fasting, time alone praying and meditating (literally away from people), healthy diet, and exercise.

Jesus did these things regularly. Jesus seemed to have fasted regularly as well, not just the 40 day fast, He also spent time alone praying and meditating when He went to the mountains alone which combined exercise as well.

The Jews fasted twice a week (not on consecutive days) but Jesus fasted even more often. There were times Jesus started appearing in my dreams as well and not just appearing but making casual conversation as well. It also healed me of disease, healing of old injuries, restoration of my body to youth.

Jesus promised his presence when we gather the bible says.
Specially when people filled with the Holy spirit gather, there is guaranteed Gods presence.
He also sends 'blessings and eternal life' when we gather.
You could try some church or gathering if there is good ones in your area.

You're welcome! I'll pray for that too.

For the last several months, I've been doing a 16 hour food fast everyday, having only water during that time. Fasting starts after an early dinner of 6 pm and ends 11am in the morning. You might feel hungry when you wake up in the morning. Do some light to medium exercise for at least 30 minutes (I also pray and meditate during this time) and the hunger will subside long enough to last another few hours without eating. Avoid drinking too much water during fasting because it will take the nutrients away from your body and even intensify feelings of hunger. In fact you should drink less water during a fast than if you were eating.

A prolonged period of praise and thanksgiving.

You can look at these phrases as exhortations, or you can look at them as instructions on how to enter into His presence.

Psalms 100:2-4 NET
2 Worship the LORD with joy! Enter his presence with joyful singing!
3 Acknowledge that the LORD is God! He made us and we belong to him; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give him thanks! Praise his name!

You enter by doing these things.
I like what Paul said in Ephesians 6:

Ephesians 5:18-21 KJV
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Again, you can read this as an exhortation, or you can read this as an instruction on how to be filled with the Spirit.
You are filled with the Spirit BY speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

Galatians 3:2 KJV
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Also, we praise God with our souls which can be seen while we worship Him with our spirits which can't be seen Based on "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4

Worshipping God in spirit isnt singing but it can lead to worship. "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name." (Psa 100:4) So acknowledging God's goodness and greatness are vital components..

Praise and worship are related but different (II Chron 7:3, 29:30; Psa 138:2).

Entering into His courts - Some say there's about 50 chapters in the Bible and numerous books have been written on the tabernacle that Moses built. After being consecrated, an important component was before they served as priests, they went through washing/cleaning for purification so they wouldn't die (Exo 30). Since God is holy, I believe we need to follow that pattern. The bronze laver for cleansing was the last object they encountered prior to entering God's presence (Exo 40:6-7). The high priest took care of his own sin first (Heb 7:27). While it was definitely physical for them, it is spiritual for us. We initiate/asks for it then the blood of Jesus sacrificed once for all time cleanse us (Heb 10:4, I John 1:7-9, Exo 30; Rev 1:6, 2-3).

Worship is an attitude of bowing down - even our human spirits bowing down before God and acknowledging His holiness, giving Him honor, adoration,, and revering Him. Spirit to spirit and spirit to Spirit communication. (Zech 2:13, Psa 95:6, 96:9, 99:5). It's focusing on God and who He is to you on a heart level.

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." Psa 46:10 Dont allow interruptions- disregard them immediately.

One result is - "...in thy presence is fulness of joy..." (Psa 16:11). "...the joy of the Lord is your strength." ,(Neh 8:10)

Since no one has mentioned this yet, there are somethings that are hindrances to God's presence. Often it is self condemnation; the devil gets you off track with God and you have a hard time believing God is still there are cares. (He does and He does desire fellowship with you) Other hindrances may include unrepentant sin, including unforgiveness or a judgmental spirit toward others. This in effect can turn your spiritual ears off so it is always good to do a self check to see if you have grieved the Holy Spirit in some way and confess that to God.

The solutions here from other posters to fast, find spirit led services, and praise God are excellent.
Draw nigh to Him and he will draw nigh to you. God bless!
