Practicing the Presence of God, pt. 2

Today we continue reading through our list of 'advice' from Brother Lawrence on practicing the presence of God...

  1. Think of God often -  develop habits of keeping your attention on God.
  2. Have conversations - speaking and listening - with God in small ways while you do your work.
  3. Invite God to teach you in whatever circumstance you find yourself.  Imagine Him there beside you, pointing out the significance of events and the needs of people.
  4. Stop what you are doing periodically to worship God.  This doesn't need to be obvious--it can be done in secret--but, either way, find some way to stop your activity so that you may concentrate completely on God.
  5. Taking an inventory of your heart.  Where are you weak?  Ask God for help as you grow in maturity in that area.
