Since the divorce I rarely see my children because we live far apart. How do I stay present as a father?

A father's presence is measured by consistency and love, not merely by distance or how often you meet. Schedule regular calls or video chats so your child knows when he will hear your voice. Remember the important things in his life, such as exams, matches or birthdays, and show that you care. Maintenance paid willingly and on time is also part of being present. When you are together, give your full attention, not overshadowed by your phone. Avoid filling that short time with gifts but no connection. Children remember the father who was consistent, not the one who was perfect. Keep praying for him every day. See maintenance after divorce.
