Following Christ begins with prayer, and the process of following Christ is bathed in prayer. During the past month, you have considered different habits that you can develop in order to grow closer to God. One of the common mistakes of spiritual disciplines is the tendency to turn the discipline into a routine that is accomplished, so that the habit no longer draws your attention to God.
As you practice spiritual disciplines, I encourage you to think of the habits as a means to help you grow in your prayer life.
I have known faithful Christians who have never fasted nor meditated. I have learned a great deal from Christians who have never kept a journal. However, I have never met a mature Christian who did not spend time in prayer.
Let your life be bathed in prayer as you strive to grow closer to God.
