"How can I come to really FEEL God's Presence?"
Dear God, thank you for all your blessings each and every moment of each and every day. Let me remember you as a Living Presence. The Creator did not create and then leave the building. He created all and is not away, apart, and distant or disappeared.
You are here, together, always, and I am here with You, a part of You, and will extend with your Energy and Being. You are not away or gone - You are with me, right here, right now.
Why do I not feel Your Presence?
It is only due to your strong belief in separate identities, confusion of body and mind, that you have not realized your True Power. The sense of separation has induced you into forgetting your true nature, and this has made you experience limitation and weakness, death and illness, as though they actually existed. It does seem totally real, and thus, I'm not going to minimize your belief in this separation, because that would minimize my appreciation for the true Power of your Mind. The separation is not real. However this fact is not the solution at your level of confusion. The fact of Unity is the reason that there is no problem, however while you believe there is a problem, this Fact may be helpful, but is not directly helpful to make you to realize It now.
The situation you seem to find yourself in does appear completely real to the extent that it blots out Eternity, Heaven, and even Me, God. Although it is impossible for that to actually be the case, it does appear to be that way, and it would be unhelpful for me not to recognize how strong this belief is for you and all who "think" this way. It would be more helpful for Me to give you solutions that will help you realize the truth, than to just state "the Truth" as a fact that you cannot reach as of yet.
If somebody is driving the wrong way, it is more helpful to help them turn around, then to tell them about their future destination. Once they're going the right direction, the right destination is easily achieved with the correct guidance.
This is a problem you have recognized that needs answers, on your level. Of course, I must, and AM addressing this issue, because I want you to be happy because you are part of me. Would you feel comfortable walking past a wounded brother, moaning in agony, when you know very well how to tend to his wounds and get him some help?
Yet, this wounded brother must accept your help and allow the remedy. If this wounded brother allows you to help him, he has trusted you, and thus, put himself in your caring hands.
Therefore, to heal the separation, you must recognize that you see not, you hear not, and therefore, you know not.
You think you see.
You think you hear.
Thus, you think you know.
How can I help you when you think you already know?
You must be willing to know that you know not, and simultaneously TRUST that I know, and that everything you think you think must be given to Me for evaluation.
I will Guide you and purify your thinking but you will only hear if you listen and you will listen only if you stop looking and hearing with your senses as though they have something to tell you that I know not.
Can you know water by studying the plumbing through which it flows?
Can you understand electricity by looking at a light switch?
Can you understand content by analyzing form?
Can you look within while you search outside?
Can you observe your mind while you are entranced by the innumerable objects in perception?
You neither need search within or search without…
Simply give me your thoughts, appeal to me, and I will take you from there.
You need not close your eyes and inhibit your senses from seeing, hearing, feeling, touching, tasting, and smelling. No, that is not necessary.
Each sensation, when felt, is processed by mind, and all processing is governed by the thought impressions made by this interaction. These thought impressions, in turn, interact with each other to make further "thought", which makes up all your "thinking".
Give all of this "thinking" to me, with patience and gentle knowing that I will translate them back to you with My Intelligence, which is Supreme and Transcendent, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent.
There's nothing to fear. Simply do this, and your True Self will be clear!
Amen.

Extremely powerful! Tremendously revealing! Taking it right up to the edge of the Unspeakable
Yay! It's my first comment! Thanks for your words. It's amazing that we all have Spirit Guiding us. He only asks us to "tune in".
