Experience the Abundant Life of Jesus!
In the Gospel of John, Jesus instructs His disciples to abide in Him, declaring that apart from Him we can do nothing. But staying connected to the Spirit of Jesus throughout the busyness of daily life is difficult. How do we actually put this into practice every day?
My Practice of the Presence of God is a collection of conversations and letters from Brother Lawrence, a 17th-century monk, to fellow Christians on how to constantly experience the Presence of God. Brother Lawrence had one aim, whether he was washing dishes or kneeling for prayer-to personally connect with God in everything he did.
In this guided devotional journal edition of the full classic work, we examine how to practice the Presence of God. Brother Lawrence's original words, broken out and paired with added reflections, actions, and prayers, will help you cultivate habits to encounter Jesus in simple but profound ways each day.
Through these honest and straightforward conversations and reflections, you'll be invited to practice the Presence of God by:
Considering your own past and present encounters with GodDiscerning things that distract you from His presencePondering ways to connect with Him more deeplyPursuing tangible actions that help you experience God Talking to God as if He were sitting directly in front of youCelebrating the people and experiences that have drawn you to Him
As we learn to abide in the presence of God, we become "like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither..." (Psalm 1:3). As we cultivate an inward connection with the Spirit, we experience the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and goodness that is only available in Him. So, come, let us learn to practice the Presence of God!
