With You, For You, Through You

Brother Lawrence had the right idea, that every moment is to be spent in the presence of God.  But I’m afraid that his technique is a little too passive for modern man.  Instead of trying to block out everything but God I have much more success in trying at the start of each new segment of the day to tell God that I want to live this portion of my day with Him, for Him, and through Him.  Then from time to time throughout the task to repeat this simple prayer, “with You, for You, and through You.”
