Brother LawrencePracticing the Presence of God“Sleep is God’s invention for giving us help He cannot get into us while we are awake.” George MacDonald“For Christians the beginning of the day should not be haunted by the various kinds of concerns they face during the day. The Lord stands above the new day, and all worry and all anxiety flee before Him. Therefore, in the early morning hours of the day, may our many thoughts and our many idle words be silent and may the first word and the first thought belong to the One to whom our whole life belongs.” Dietrich BonhoefferThe Bread of Presence is available to us as the Bread of Life to nourish and sustain us!
