It is written about Brother Lawrence: “That when sometimes he had not thought of
GOD for a good while, he did not disquiet himself for it; but after having
acknowledged his wretchedness to GOD, he returned to Him with so much the
greater trust in Him, by how much he found himself more wretched to have forgot
Him.”
This is my solemn prayer:
Lord, give me a desire to have my mind always on You.
In those times when I wander, gently lead me back...
Until Your own mind is finally, fully formed within me.
Then, I will no longer forget you, not even for a moment.
The soul that chooses not to remember You, Oh Lord,
is indeed wretched and will -- without returning -- ...
also be wrecked forever. God forgive. God forbid.
Your Presence, Lord, is Everything to me.
You are my Life.
Grateful
