Hey OP. I really recommend The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence. Written by a 17th century monk, it's a collection of various writings by him and his mentor I believe that delve into the practice of cultivating the presence of God and acknowledging Him in your life. It's a really great read and a great view of Christianity from that time period.
