English term or phrase: bring all of life
Il s'agit d'une dévotion qui fait partie d'un calendrier oecuménique. "Bring all of life" en est le titre et le texte commence par "The Psalms teach us to bring all of life in the presence of God". L'expression semble très utilisée en anglais et j'essaie de trouver une expression équivalente utilisée en français dans un contexte religieux, et qui ne soit pas une traduction littérale. Merci!

La suggestion des "mains" m'a permis de trouver une expression satisfaisante, mais j'ai plutôt opté pour "confier sa vie". Merci

mener sa vie devant Dieu, en face de Dieu/ vivre tous les instants de sa vie en présence de Dieu


Explanation:
Coram signifie en face de, devant . À mon avis, le Coram Deo implique à la fois la notion d'intégralité, d'intégrité, et de conscience de la présence de Dieu.
