Have you ever had a moment where God used something completely ordinary to remind you of His extraordinary love? For me, it happened through my dog, Lily. She goes wherever I go, whether I’m working at my desk, making coffee, or walking into another room. She’s always there, always wanting to be near me, always looking up at me with this adoration that melts my heart. And it got me thinking: isn’t that just like God? Always with us. Always present. Always loving us and not just in the big moments, but in the simple, ordinary routines of our everyday lives.
As Christian women in business, we often get caught up in the constant hustle - balancing content calendars, emails, client work, and family responsibilities. But what if God is inviting us to see Him not just in our quiet time or on Sundays, but in the ordinary, unseen spaces of our lives? What if worship isn’t just about songs and church pews, but about recognizing His presence when we’re making dinner, playing in the backyard, or sipping our morning coffee?
That’s what this blog post will help you with - learning how to practice everyday worship by acknowledging God’s presence in the small, seemingly mundane moments of life. And if you want help making space for God in your daily routines, don’t forget to grab my free Faith-Fueled Growth Journaling Guidebook.

What My Dog Lily Taught Me About God’s Love
Lily has this way of following me everywhere. She doesn’t need a reason; she just wants to be near me. If I’m in the kitchen, she’s right there. If I move to the living room, she curls up beside me. And when she looks at me with her big brown eyes, there’s this trust, this devotion, this pure love that asks for nothing in return. One day, as I watched her, it hit me: This is just a glimpse of how God loves me.
God doesn’t just show up when I have my Bible open or when I’m worshiping at church. He’s with me when I’m brushing my teeth, when I’m scrolling through Pinterest, when I’m running errands, or cooking dinner. He’s there in the quiet and in the chaos, faithfully by my side. Psalm 139:7–10 reminds us: "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast."
Just like Lily’s constant companionship, God’s presence is with us always. The question is, are we noticing Him?
Everyday Worship: A Shift in Perspective
For years, I thought worship was something I did only in church or during a set “quiet time.” Worship was the songs I sang, the journal entries I wrote, the prayers I lifted up. And yes, those things matter. But the Lord began to teach me something deeper: worship isn’t about a moment, it’s about a posture. Everyday worship is about choosing to acknowledge His presence in the ordinary.
It’s saying, “God, I see You here, in this moment.”
- When I’m walking my dogs → “Thank You for this creation, for the fresh air, for the simple gift of movement.”
- When I’m cooking dinner → “Lord, thank You for this food, for the family I get to feed, for Your provision.”
- When I’m working on a project → “God, guide my hands, my mind, and my words. Let this work glorify You.”
Every day worship transforms ordinary tasks into sacred spaces. It takes the pressure off “performing” for God and instead invites us to walk with Him.
How to Recognize God’s Presence in the Ordinary
So how do we begin to practice this kind of everyday worship? It starts with awareness. Too often, we live distracted with all the scrolling, multitasking, and rushing. We miss the gentle whispers of God because we’re looking for Him only in the extraordinary. But God is in the ordinary.
Here are some ways to recognize His presence throughout your day:
- Pause before transitions. Before you shift from one task to another, whisper a short prayer: “Lord, be with me in this next thing.”
- Use your senses. When you sip your tea, feel the warmth and thank God for His comfort. When you hear laughter, thank Him for joy. When you feel tired, ask Him for strength.
- Invite Him in. Instead of compartmentalizing God to morning devotions, invite Him into errands, emails, and even folding laundry.
Journaling can help anchor this practice. Writing down moments where you noticed God’s presence or where you want to invite Him will train your heart to stay aware.

Creating Rhythms of Everyday Worship
The beauty of everyday worship is that it doesn’t add more to your to-do list; it transforms what you’re already doing.
- Washing dishes becomes a moment of gratitude for God’s provision.
- Walking the dog becomes a prayer walk.
- Working on your business becomes an act of stewardship for the mission He’s given you.
This is the kind of rhythm that sustains us as Christian women in business. Because let’s be honest, there will always be more work to do, more content to create, more opportunities to chase. But if we lose sight of God’s presence in the process, we’ll end up striving instead of stewarding. Everyday worship helps us slow down, savor His presence, and remember that we’re never alone.
Final Thoughts: God Is With You in Every Moment
Final Thoughts: God Is With You in Every Moment
The unconditional love I see in Lily’s eyes is just a small reflection of the greater love God has for me and for you. He’s not distant. He’s not only present in church or devotion time. He’s with you when you’re cooking dinner, when you’re at your desk, when you’re driving to the store. His love follows you everywhere. And the more we practice everyday worship, the more we’ll notice Him in the ordinary. The more we remember to talk to Him, to thank Him, and to invite Him into even the smallest tasks.
So, the next time you feel alone, rushed, or overwhelmed, pause and remember: God is right there. He’s been with you all along.
