I desire only Him and to be wholly His.

Brother Lawrence

Have courage then: make a virtue of necessity: ask of God, not deliverance from your pains, but strength to bear resolutely, for the love of Him, all that He should please, and as long as He shall please.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Bears Long Pain
We ought to act with God in the greatest simplicity, speak to Him frankly and plainly, and implore His assistance in our affairs.

Prayer Simplicity Speak
Love sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage.

It is not the greatness of the work which matters to God but the love with which it is done.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Done God Greatness
If I were to be responsible for guiding souls, I would urge everyone to be aware of God’s constant presence, if for no other reason than His presence is a delight to our souls and spirit.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Delight Live Moment Soul
Many things are possible for the person who has hope. Even more is possible for the person who has faith. And still more is possible for the person who knows how to love. But everything is possible for the person who practices all three virtues.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Hope Practice Three
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.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Christian Forget Thinking
GOD will not permit that a soul which desires to be devoted entirely to Him should take other pleasures than with Him: that is more than reasonable.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

And it is not necessary to have great things to do. I turn my little omelette in the pan for the love of God.

BROTHER LAWRENCE

God Willing Worship Music
Lift up your hearts to Him, sometimes even at your meals, and when you are in company; the least little remembrance will always be acceptable to Him. You need not cry very loud; He is nearer to us than we are aware.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Heart Prayer Remembrance
There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful, than that of a continual conversation with God; those only can comprehend it who practice and experience it.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Practice Prayer Sweet
That we ought, once for all, heartily to put our whole trust in GOD, and make a total surrender of ourselves to Him, secure that He would not deceive us.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Deceiving God Surrender Trust
We can do little things for God; I turn the cake that is frying on the pan for love of him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him, who has given me grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Cake Grace Kings
If we are truly devoted to doing God’s will, pain and pleasure won’t make any difference to us.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

I drove away from my mind everything capable of spoiling the sense of the presence of God…. I just make it my business to persevere in His holy presence… My soul has had an habitual, silent, secret conversation with God.
