Do not forget Him but think on Him often. Adore Him continually. Live and die with Him. This is the glorious work of a Christian in a word, this is our profession. If we do not know it, we must learn it.

More quotes by Brother Lawrence
If I were to be responsible for guiding souls, I would urge everyone to be aware of God's constant presence, if for no other reason than His presence is a delight to our souls and spirit.
Brother Lawrence
In the way of God, thoughts count very little. Love does it all.
Brother Lawrence
A little lifting of the heart suffices a little remembrance of God, one act of inward worship are prayers which, however short, are nevertheless acceptable to God.
Brother Lawrence
Let all our employment be to know God: the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him.
Brother Lawrence
We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.
Brother Lawrence
That there needed neither art nor science for going to GOD, but only a heart resolutely determined to apply itself to nothing but Him, or for His sake, and to love Him only.
Brother Lawrence
The greater perfection a soul aspires after, the more dependent it is upon Divine Grace.
Brother Lawrence
The sorest afflictions never appear intolerable, but when we see them in the wrong light when we see them in the hand of God, who dispenses them when we know that it is our loving Father who abases and distresses us our sufferings will lose their bitterness and become even a matter of consolation.
Brother Lawrence
Our only business is to love and delight ourselves in God.
Brother Lawrence
The most holy and necessary practice in our spiritual life is the presence of God. That means finding constant pleasure in His divine company, speaking humbly and lovingly with him in all seasons, at every moment, without limiting the conversation in any way.
Brother Lawrence
To worship God in truth is to recognize Him for being who He is, and to recognize ourselves for what we are.
Brother Lawrence
My God, since you are with me and since, by Your will, I must occupy myself with external things, please grant me the grace to remain with You, in Your presence. Work with me, so that my work might be the very best. Receive as an offering of love both my work and all my affections.
Brother Lawrence
That we should establish ourselves in a sense of GOD’s Presence, by continually conversing with Him. That it was a shameful thing to quit His conversation, to think of trifles and fooleries.
Brother Lawrence
If we are truly devoted to doing God's will, pain and pleasure won't make any difference to us.
Brother Lawrence
Let all our employment be to know GOD: the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him. And as knowledge is commonly the measure of love, the deeper and more extensive our knowledge shall be, the greater will be our love: and if our love of GOD were great, we should love Him equally in pains and pleasures.
Brother Lawrence
We can do little things for God I turn the cake that is frying on the pan for love of him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him, who has given me grace to work afterwards I rise happier than a king.
Brother Lawrence
The time of business does not differ with me from the time of prayer and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were on my knees.
Brother Lawrence
It is not the greatness of the work which matters to God but the love with which it is done.
Brother Lawrence
To worship God in truth is further to admit that we are entirely contrary to Him, and that He is willing to make us like Himself if we desire it. Who will be so imprudent as to turn himself away, even for a moment, from the reverence, love, service and continual adoration which we most justly owe Him?
Brother Lawrence
We ought to seek God's assistance in our affairs just as they happen.
Brother Lawrence
