The Practice of the Presence of God In Modern English

by Brother Lawrence

“Lord, I cannot do this unless You enable me.” Then he received more than sufficient strength.

He always enjoyed himself no matter what he was doing because he did everything, even the smallest things, for the love of God.

When it was time to do something, he looked to God.

The spiritual life is neither an art nor a science. To arrive at union with God all one needs is a heart resolutely determined to apply itself to nothing but Him, do nothing but for His sake, and to love Him only.

The whole substance of religion is faith, hope, and love.

All things are possible to him who believes. They are less difficult to him who hopes. They are easier to him who loves. And they are easiest to him who perseveres in the practice of all three virtues.

Know that God is with you in everything you do.
