Prayer is nothing else than a sense of God’s presence

Brother Lawrence

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

Differences Pain Pleasure
In order to form a habit of conversing with GOD continually, and referring all we do to Him, we must at first apply to Him with some diligence: but that after a little care we should find His love inwardly excite us to it without any difficulty.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Care Littles Order
The most holy and necessary practice in our spiritual life is the presence of God. That means finding constant pleasure in His divine company, speaking humbly and lovingly with him in all seasons, at every moment, without limiting the conversation in any way.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Mean Practice Spiritual
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.

Love sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Joy Pain Sweet Love
The world appears very little to a soul that contemplates the greatness of God.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Greatness Soul World
God as we ought to worship Him. God is Spirit, so we must worship Him in spirit and truth, that is, by a humble and true adoration of spirit in the depth and center of our souls.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Depth Humble Soul
That all things are possible to him who believes, that they are less difficult to him who hopes, they are more easy to him who loves, and still more easy to him who perseveres in the practice of these three virtues.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Believe Practice Three
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
The end we ought to propose to ourselves is to become, in this life, the most perfect worshipers of God we can possibly be, as we hope to be through all eternity.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Eternity Perfect Worship
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
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
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
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
Do not always scrupulously confine yourself to certain rules, or particular forms of devotion, but act with a general confidence in GOD, with love and humility.
BROTHER LAWRENCE
