Byron reflects on the profound impact of Brother Lawrence’s classic work, not merely as a spiritual habit, but as the "most holy and necessary practice" of the spiritual life.


  • Constant Companionship: Practicing God's presence isn't about scheduling specific times for devotion (like "five minutes a day"); it is about living a fully integrated, twenty-four-hour life with God.

  • Unceasing Conversation: The practice involves finding constant pleasure in God's company by maintaining a humble, loving, and limitless conversation with Him in every season and moment.
  • Source of Power: While Scripture and meditation are valuable, the author suggests that the true "joy and power" of the spiritual life are found in this sweet, ongoing dialogue that is never allowed to drop.
