As a group we praise in church - at least we sing hymns and recite words meant to express praise. As individuals we praise in private. But in between those two experiences we are often too shy to say anything in praise of God, whether at work, in the hardware store, at the movie, or over dinner. Our praise clusters in church and in personal devotions; it does not spread throughout our lives. Thus, not surprisingly, our sense of Jesus' presence tends to be restricted to church and devotions, rather than spreading through all of our life.
