Week 1, Monday, January 4
Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:17
“Pray continually.”
Thought for the day:
As we begin this month-long journey of practicing spiritual disciplines, I want each of us to realize that spiritual disciplines are intended to help us enhance our life of prayer. It is possible to be a Christian without ever fasting, or meditating. There have been many Christians who have been unable to read, and therefore never read the Bible (even though they often heard it read). However, I believe prayer is vital to our walk with God. Prayer is our time to talk with God. I hope that during this month, we discover that God also reveals Himself to us through our life of prayer.
Journal/Exercise:
Please write in your journal an honest assessment of your prayer life. How often do you pray? What kind of patterns are little more than mere rituals in your prayer life? Have you ever seen the answers to your prayers? Also, write how you would like to see your prayer life change as you practice spiritual disciplines.
