The Practice of the Presence of God Quotes

“He is always near you and with you. Leave Him not alone. You would think it rude to leave a friend alone who came to visit you. Why, then, must God be neglected?”
― Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, The Practice of the Presence of God

“I do not advise you to use multiplicity of words in prayer. Many words and long discourses are often the occasions of wandering. Hold yourself in prayer before God, like a dumb or paralytic beggar at a rich man's gate.”
― Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, The Practice of the Presence of God
