I began to live as if there were no one save God and me in the world.

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

BROTHER LAWRENCE

Practice Prayer Sweet

BROTHER LAWRENCE

Believe Practice Three
Prayer is nothing else than a sense of God’s presence
BROTHER LAWRENCE

God Prayer Presence
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
We ought to act with God in the greatest simplicity, speak to Him frankly and plainly, and implore His assistance in our affairs.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Prayer Simplicity Speak
A little lifting of the heart suffices; a little remembrance of God, one act of inward worship are prayers which, however short, are nevertheless acceptable to God.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Heart Prayer Remembrance
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

Eternity Perfect Worship
What can God have that gives him greater satisfaction than that a thousand times a day all his creatures should thus pause to withdraw and worship him in the heart.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Christian Giving Heart
Loving God and loving one’s neighbor are really the same thing.

BROTHER LAWRENCE

Design Doubt Light
That there needed neither art nor science for going to GOD, but only a heart resolutely determined to apply itself to nothing but Him, or for His sake, and to love Him only.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Art Determine Sake
Are we not rude and deserve blame, if we leave Him alone, to busy ourselves about trifles, which do not please Him and perhaps offend Him? ‘Tis to be feared these trifles will one day cost us dear.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Cost Day One Rude
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
Let us fear to leave Him. Let us be always with Him. Let us live and die in His presence.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Always Dies Presence
