Aware of His Care #RTTBROS #Nightlight
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)
Brother Lawrence's "Practicing the Presence of God" is all about cultivating a constant awareness of God in our daily lives. Here are a few main points:
- Developing a posture of humility before God, recognizing that He is the source of all good things.
- Practicing gratitude in all circumstances, even when things are tough.
- Listening for God's voice throughout the day, in everything from quiet moments to ordinary tasks.
- Seeking to honor God in everything we do, seeing all of life as an act of worship.
In short, Brother Lawrence encourages us to live with a mindset of constant connection to God, seeing Him in all things and making Him the center of our lives.
Here's a daily plan that incorporates insights from all the books we discussed:
1. Start the day with a short prayer, expressing gratitude to God for the new day and asking for His presence throughout the day.
2. Throughout the day, take short pauses to focus on taking a few deep breaths and simply be aware of God's presence with you.
3. Look for moments of joy or beauty throughout the day and give thanks to God for them.
4. Before going to bed, spend a few minutes in prayer, reflecting on the day and expressing gratitude to God for His presence.
5. Repeat this process every day, and over time, you'll begin to notice a greater awareness of God's presence in your life.
It takes practice, but the results are worth it!
