When we are busied, or meditating on spiritual
things, even in our time of set devotion, whilst our
voice is rising in prayer, we ought to cease for one
brief moment. Or as often as we can, to worship GOD in
the depth of our being, to taste Him though it be in
passing, to touch Him as it were by stealth. Since you
cannot but know that GOD is with you in all you
undertake, that He is at the very depth and center of
your Soul. Why should you not thus pause an instant from
time to time in your business, and even in the act of
prayer, to worship Him within your Soul? Or to praise
Him, to entreat His aid, to offer Him the service of your
heart, and give Him thanks for all His loving kindnesses
and tender mercies?
From "The Practice of the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence. p. 72.
