Wisdom from Brother Lawrence
“Please keep my recommendation in mind: think of God often, by day, by night, in your business, and even in your diversions. He is always near you and with you. Leave Him not alone. You would think it rude to leave a friend alone who came to visit you. Why, then, must God be neglected? Do not forget Him, but think on Him often. Adore Him continually. Live and die with Him. This is the glorious work of a Christian; in a word, this is our profession. If we do not know it, we must learn it.” –Letter 10
The Practice of the Presence of God
A 40-Day Devotion Based on Brother Lawrence’s Classic Work
Brother Lawrence/Alan Vermilye (Brown Chair Books, 2021)
A great recommendation for all of us all the time.
I was 19 years old when my friend Peggy gave me a copy of Practicing the Presence of God. I have kept it close over the years and am always refreshed when reading it. His Spirit has drawn me back over a lifetime. Solo Deo Gloria.
