Your god may be your little Christian habit - the habit of prayer or Bible reading at certain times of your day.

No, this is your time alone with your habit.

And this is what makes us contemplative in the heart of the world; for we are twenty-four hours then in His presence: in the hungry, in the naked, in the homeless, in the unwanted, unloved, uncared for. For Jesus said, Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me.

He'll let you know.
