A Simple Habit to Walk with Jesus All Day

A Simple Habit to Walk with Jesus All Day

I wanted to share a moment from a sermon that really stayed with me—something simple, yet deeply profound.

At church, of the pastors shared a practical way we can walk with Jesus more intentionally throughout our everyday lives. She described how many of us start our mornings beautifully—we sit with Scripture, we pray, we invite the Holy Spirit in. In that moment, we feel that our day is “plural.” It’s not just me, it’s Jesus and me.

But as the day unfolds—emails, errands, work meetings, school runs—it’s easy for that plural to fade into singular. Suddenly, it’s just me replying to messages, me rushing through tasks, me carrying the weight of the day. Somewhere along the way, Jesus is unintentionally left out of the moment-to-moment.

She shared a simple practice that helps her keep Jesus in the picture: include Him in your language. She would say things like:

  • “Jesus and I are going for breakfast.”

  • “Jesus and I are reading this book.”

  • “Jesus and I are cooking dinner for the family.”

It’s a small shift, but one that carries powerful intentionality. This habit makes Jesus part of the present—it reminds us that His presence isn’t reserved for just quiet time or church. He’s with us in every moment, and speaking that out helps us stay aware of it.

It also gently checks our hearts. If I say, “Jesus and I are watching this show,” I pause to consider—should we be watching this? Or if I say, “Jesus and I are replying to this message,” it naturally leads me to ask, how would He want me to respond?

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being present—with Him.

And, in case you’re wondering, yes, I tried it! After that session, I said to myself, “Jesus and I are going out for lunch.” I ended up buying two Banh Mi rolls—and since Jesus doesn’t physically eat, I had both. 😅

But in all seriousness, this little shift in mindset has been incredibly grounding. It invites Jesus into everything—not just the sacred moments, but the ordinary ones too.

So today, I encourage you to try it. Whether you’re driving, working, folding laundry, grocery shopping or scrolling through your phone—invite Him in. Say it out loud. Make your day plural.

“Jesus and I are doing this—together.”
