Take a "Spirit Walk".  Begin by asking the HOLY SPIRIT to walk with you.  Go out for an actual walk alone (not with wife, husband or others).  Pray conversational prayer, pray in your prayer language, worship GOD with a song, and be quiet before Him.

You will find HE will reveal HIS presence with you because HE desires to reveal JESUS to you and fellowship with you.

Then walk home with HIM.
