The book includes 15 short letters written by Brother Lawrence during the last ten years of his life to a variety of long time friends. They are the heart and soul of his ability to live in the constant presence of God.

While God is omnipresent, and His presence is always with us, we long to experience Him in some way. When we talk about experiencing the presence of the Lord, we are talking about the realization of God’s presence – of perceiving His presence and being conscious of Him. “ Practising His presence” through worship is one of the ways this can happen. God has promised that as we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us and we will experience His presence in ever increasing measures. David was renewed by this liberating truth that God would guide and provide for him. Imagine also how Joshua must have felt as Moses informed him that Joshua would lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, not Moses who had freed them from their Egyptian bondage. Moses left large sandals to fill, but God’s empowering word enabled Joshua to step out in confidence with God:He proved this with Moses ( burning bush) and Aaron ( budding staff). He proved this with Elijah in a variety of ways ( 1 Kings 19:9-18). He also proved this by sending an angel to the Roman centurion Cornelius ( Acts 10–11). Ultimately, He proved this by sending His own Son, Jesus Christ.

And the beautiful thing about speaking in tongues is that although our mind is unfruitful without a divine interpretation (1 Corinthians 14:13), our spirit isn’t unfruitful. In fact, the Bible says that our spirit is getting edified as we pray in tongues (1 Corinthians 14:4), and as this edification happens it makes it easier to be aware of God’s presence. And it was in the residence of the Garden where God met with humanity. He literally walked with Adam and Eve. He was their God and they were His people. Everything was good – until it wasn’t. Being hungry for His presence and desiring to be in the presence of the Lord on a daily basis should be our greatest priority… just to be with Him and seek His presence with all our hearts. We all live in His presence all the time, (“In Him we live and move and have our being” Acts 17:28) but not many people are aware of it. Laubach, (1884–1970) who is often known as the “apostle of literacy.” An American evangelical missionary to the Philippines, his early ministry was marked by numerous failures and heartache, including the malarial deaths of three of his children. Exhausted and discouraged, he powerfully experienced God and was challenged to accept and love the Muslim people with whom he lived. Laubach realized that his own soul was as barren as that of the Moros people. His reading of Christian mystical writers inspired him intentionally to seek God’s presence and guidance. He was indebted especially to Brother Lawrence’s (1614–1691) classic The Practice of the Presence of God, which taught that God was just as present when people are doing menial tasks as when gathered with community in prayer. The seven letters to the churches in Revelation communicate the same essential requirement; Jesus’s followers need to be alert to His Spirit and obey Him. This critical wording concludes the letters to each church: “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 29; 3:6, 13, 22). It is critical that we grasp Jesus’s commanding message. He is not suggesting that if we have free time, or nothing better to do, we might want to listen to Him. Instead, there is an urgency: we must listen if we are to follow Him in obedience and grow into greater spiritual maturity.Anvarol, also known as Oxanodrol or Oxandrolone, is a popular steroid in women’s sports.

So for the Christian reading this, you and I both know that many times when we try to create a discipline that’ll build our relationship with God, often that discipline will become a work in our lives and not a result of love. Now that we covered what practicing the presence of God is let’s break down how we can do it in our own lives. How to practice the Presence of God (7 Helpful Tips) Spend focused and isolated time in God’s presence. Joshua had previously learned this message, because God had guided the people of Israel during the day by the pillar of cloud and at night by the pillar of fire (Exod. 13:21). No doubt he drew much assurance not from his own strength but in God’s abiding presence and promises.
