From Practice to Action

Spiritual Disciplines Part 4 of 4

Over the last few weeks, we have explored spiritual disciplines—practices that help us engage deeply with our faith, strengthen our relationship with God, and foster spiritual growth. These disciplines are designed to draw us closer to God, nurture spiritual maturity, and guide us in living according to the example set by Jesus. We have delved into spiritual direction, faith practices, and the power of prayer. This week, we will take a closer look at what happens when our spirit moves us to action. What unfolds when the still, small voice of God leads us to unexpected paths and places we might never have considered, or even resisted? For many, this is where the true journey of faith begins. It is in these moments of divine prompting that we often find our faith tested and our spiritual resolve strengthened, as we learn to trust and follow God’s guidance in new and transformative ways.
