Beyond Sunday: 4 Daily Disciplines for a Vibrant Faith ഉദാഹരണം

Devotional:

When we diligently pursue honoring and glorifying God by practicing spiritual disciplines, we will see growth in our relationship with God and experience a positive change in our lives and relationships with others.

How will you stay accountable for practicing these spiritual disciplines? The prayer is that you will make spiritual discipline a priority in your life. Keep drinking in the word and be engaged in daily Bible reading, memorization, studying, meditation, and prayer. God has given us words of life that we cannot survive without. Make them a priority for you each day, and the effects will be truly life-changing to you. Practice the Sabbath day and keep it holy to honor God. Also, fast to humble yourself before God. Doing this will grow your spiritual formation and deepen your relationship with Christ.

Reflection/Discussion Questions:

• How did you do in practicing these spiritual disciplines?
• Were any of the disciplines a struggle to carry out?
• Did you keep the daily journals?
• What spiritual benefits did you experience by practicing prayer, Bible reading, fasting, and Sabbath-keeping?

Application:

• Find someone in your life who can be your accountability partner and mentor such as a spouse or dear friend.
• Keep journaling your experience with practicing spiritual disciplines.
• Share your journal with your accountability partner.

Closing Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

As we come before You in prayer, we acknowledge Your presence and the importance of these spiritual disciplines in our lives. We are grateful for the guidance and wisdom You provide through Your word and the example set by Your Son, Jesus Christ.

We understand that diligently pursuing the practice of these disciplines not only honors and glorifies You but also leads to growth in our relationship with You. We thank You for the positive changes we witness in our lives and our interactions with others when we remain engaged in these spiritual activities.

Lord, we ask for Your strength and grace to help us stay accountable to these disciplines. May we prioritize daily Bible reading, memorization, studying, meditation, and prayer as essential elements of our spiritual journey.

Help us to live out these commitments so the effects truly become life-changing, not only for us but for those whose lives we touch.

We offer this prayer with gratitude and a deep desire to walk closely with You.

In the name of Jesus, we pray.

Amen.
