What is God's importance in The Practice of the Presence of God?

To Brother Lawrence, God exists as nearly a bodily presence. He speaks of God's presence as a force that he can sense. From the reaction of those around him, it seems that some peculiar presence catches the attention of others as well. Brother Lawrence sees God in a variety of ways, such as father, judge, friend, companion, ruler, and employer. At different times and under varying circumstances, Brother Lawrence refers to the different personalities of God. To Brother Lawrence, none of the personalities contradicts the others and each offers a different lesson. For instance, God as King shows Lawrence his inequality to the almighty. Yet, he describes the relationship in that God the King allows Lawrence, a criminal and servant, to dine at the same table. Such an outlook greatly humbles Lawrence on a daily basis.
