Day 5: Depending on Grace

The more we strive for perfection, the more we depend on divine grace.

Wisdom from Brother Lawrence

Whenever an opportunity to practice a virtue arose, he would turn to God and say, "Lord, I cannot do this unless You empower me." And then he would receive more than enough strength. The more a soul strives for perfection, the more it depends on divine grace.

Scripture

John 15:4-5

Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me.

Reflection Questions

  1. 1

    Where do I need more of God's grace today?

  2. 2

    What fruit or virtue could I cultivate if I remain in God's presence?
