Anybody want to try this out?

My journey group is going through a book that has activities for the week, basically a spiritual exercise that we try to do and then we talk about how it went. Last we was beneficial to me, so I thought I'd share this week's exercise with ya'll in case anyone wants to try it out.

Experiment this week with living life as Jesus would if he were in your place; specifically focus on spending a day consciously "at home" with the Father-- living in his grace. Here are some ideas:

• Wake up and direct your first thoughts to his loving presence.
• Pay attention to his gracious daily provisions, even the ordinary ones-- a closet full of clothes, a hot shower, the ability to see, think, hear, and feel.
• Look for some examples of his grace around you in scenes of natural beauty, the face of a friend, meaningful accomplishments, moments that make you laugh.
• When you sit down for a meal, imagine God preparing this table just for you. Slow down; enjoy the gift of food in his presence.
  
• Pursue a favorite activity. Try to consciously engage in it with your Father as your companion.
• When you fail, bring it honestly to him. Experience his open arms of forgiveness.

Does it make any difference to live this way? Is God's companionship enjoyable? Do you feel like your days are spent living freely in your Father's house? What did you find hindered your ability to enter into this kind of grace?
