We must trust God once and for all and abandon ourselves to Him alone. This difficult task necessarily requires perseverance and continual conversation with God in all activities great and small. I’m not sure what to say about this book, save that it describes a simple, yet not necessarily easy path to be at one with God. This path is described through a series of conversations, letters, principles and ways. As someone who lives with a serious and enduring mental illness, I came away from this relatively short read, which by the way I first read some fifteen years ago, with a sense that although this is a practice that I could aspire to I would find it difficult to realise. This is mainly due to my racing thoughts. However, I have been practicing recently the Jesus Prayer with the aid of an Orthodox prayer rope, and I have found this very helpful in returning to the solid ground that the author describes through the use of this simple prayer. I believe that the key to this book lies in its title - the Practice of the Presence of God. God is the ground of our being and to find Him we need to seek Him in His simplicity. We only achieve this by the gift of His Grace and a surrendering of our will, and this as the title suggests requires practice. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Brother Lawrence was a man of humble beginnings who discovered the greatest secret of living in the kingdom of God here on earth. It is the art of "practicing the presence of God in one single act that does not end." He often stated that it is God who paints Himself in the depths of our soul. We must merely open our hearts to receive Him and His loving presence. For nearly 300 years this unparalleled classic has given both blessing and instruction to those who can be content with nothing less than knowing God in all His majesty and feeling His loving presence throughout each simple day.
