Here are two beautiful quotes from the book, “The Practice of the Presence of God”, by Brother Lawrence. “We cannot afford the dangers and the reefs of which this life is full, without the real and constant love of God. Let us ask Him for it without ceasing. But how can we ask Him without being with Him? And how can we be with Him without often thinking of Him? And how can we often think of Him without forming a holy habit of doing so?” The second quote says this. “The most holy practice, the nearest to daily life, and the most essential for the spiritual life, is the practice of the presence of God, that is to find joy in His divine company and to make it a habit of life, speaking humbly and conversing lovingly with Him at all times, every moment, without rule or restriction, above all at times of temptation, distress, dryness….When we are in doubt, God will never fail to give light when we have no other plan than to please Him and to act in love for Him.”
