Proven Effective Methods In Strengthening My Spiritual Life Journey

By Lena Stephenson


No matter how well you plan for the things you want to do in your life, there will always be those times when you feel like you are stuck in a rut. Perhaps it could be the stress we are experiencing at present. Or maybe its because of the unfulfilled desires and failures we experience. Sometimes you question what went wrong when you did all that you can to succeed.

Planning is important. In business and at school, we have seen how important this is for the success of an activity or project. However, this is not everything. No matter how solid and creative your plan is, if the Lord does not want you to be there, then all else will fail. Planning is recommended, but you have to trust God to manage the outcome. Developing a sort of my spiritual life journey will help you understand more of this dynamic.

Nurturing your spirituality is a need. Sadly, a lot of people, especially those who are busy hoarding wealth and earning money, do not see this importance. Unless one has this close relationship with God, he or she cannot expect to feel fully satisfied with what he has regardless of how much it is. Today, I will be sharing some of the ways that helped me in this daily journey. Take a look at them below.

Writing daily on a journal. This is not just the typical diary you keep where you rant about all the complains and wrongs you experience within the day. Its a journal of positivity where you acknowledge the presence of the negatives but focus more on the good.

Spending minutes in silence. There is no substitute to silence when it comes to communicating with God. It is a necessity. It is only through silence that you get to hear what He has to say. With the amount of noise we experience everyday, finding a silent place and time can be difficult. But if you practice it, the rewards can be great.

Thoughts of gratitude to start the day. Rather than locating your phone the first thing you wake up, why not try sitting down on bed, or lying down, or however you want to do it, and say thanks for the blessings that you have for the day. You will be surprised by how much this can make you feel better.

Seeing the good side of anything bad. There are bad days. It is part of your life. What matters however are not those factors but how you react to them. Rather than sulk about the negatives, why not think about the better things you can see from it.

Reading the Bible everyday. You do not have to read a bulk in one go. Selecting a short excerpt per day is enough. This will make it easier for you to internalize it. Make it a habit and know God more. You can never develop your faith unless you know Him better.

There is a limit to how much we are capable of doing. We are just humans and our capacities do not allow us to manage everything. Surrender all the things to God including your happiness and sadness and trust in his divine goodness. In the end, everything will go as He planned.
