Jon, focusing on the good things in your life, as Kat was mentioning can really help.
I tend to only focus on the good and I have a feeling this has been my saving grace.
If I were to internalize all the horrible things that have happened to me in my life time, I would probably feel forgotten by God.
But I don't feel forgotten. I feel God within every pore of my being. That is because I appreciate what I have and the loving kindness all around me.
I also give thanks for all the lessons I find within everything I experince.
That to me is living with God.
