The Practice of the Presence of God (Brother Lawrence)

The term was taken from the book “The Practice of the Presence of God.” The book is a collection of letters either written by Brother Lawrence or written by someone who knew Him.

For those of you who don’t know brother Lawrence was a chef in the 1600s and he lived in continual fellowship with God and because of this, he taught people what he learned.

His teaching was simple: whatever you do, in word or deed, converse with God about it. Talk to Him and worship Him as you do all of your tasks. If you happen to wander from this conversation, don’t beat yourself up about it, instead, peacefully return to communion with God as soon as you are aware of what happened.
