Finding God’s Presence in Everyday Life: The Lesson of Brother Lawrence

Exodus 33:14 says, “My Presence will go with you.” Brother Lawrence, born Nicholas Herman, built his spiritual life around that promise. As a cook in a monastery, he chose to maintain a quiet, continual conversation with God through ordinary tasks. Those around him said he found God while repairing shoes just as much as during communal prayer. His letters and conversations were later collected in *The Practice of the Presence of God*. His message remains simple: seek God’s company in every season and make prayer part of everyday life.
