Magnificent Prayer #4 - Magnificent Prayer

Pray About It: It would greatly surprise Brother Lawrence to find that nearly five centuries after his death, his teachings on prayer are considered classic.

And what is this classic teaching?

Brother Lawrence worked for thirty years in the kitchen of the monastery to which he belonged. As he washed dishes and went about his other routine chores, he prayed.

Brother Lawrence believed that God wasn’t too busy to hear us, even when we’re busy with our necessary work. His short book, The Practice of the Presence of God, is still in print and widely read by Christians around the world.

Put Brother Lawrence’s teaching to the test today. Set aside a place in your heart and retire there often throughout the day where you can practice God’s presence, no matter your activity.
