Brother Lawrence in his book, The Practice of the Presence of God, acknowledges that the foundation of the spiritual life is to hold God in the highest esteem in faith, and faithfully to reject everything in life except to make every decision and to perform every activity for the love of God. Everything in our life must be defined by our love of God. To forget about God is to live a most unhappy life, and to believe otherwise is to be most unwise and untrue. Pray for the sufficient grace of God to return to Him when you have left Him behind, and to return to the Lord practicing greater trust in Him than ever before.
To trust in God brings Him the honor that is due Him and brings us such blessing and great grace of God. Trusting God in everything in life enables us to endure everything for His sake. When we suffer we can endure it through trusting God. When we feel and experience the great grace of God this comes to us from trusting in God. So don’t leave God and step away from Him. Return to Him in trust and He will reward you, bless you.
Trust God and you will see that He does all things in your life that is fit for you to live un union with Him.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner.
