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.

Even if we prepare and plan, the end result is not ours to decide. If God does not want us to be there, then we will never be there. Its all a matter of doing the things that we think is good and then trusting the Creator to handle the rest. My spiritual life journey is marked with ups and downs. But if you have solid trust to the Author of our lives, everything will turn out as it should be.

You have to be aware though that the journey will not be that easy. It can be challenging and can take time before you master it. But if you are serious about it, then devoting your time will be worth it. Below are effective methods that you can use to help you develop your spiritual strength even more.

Keeping a daily journal. It is vital that you do this every day and not just when you feel like writing something. Daily journaling will help you keep track of the activities that you did for the day, the good things that happened to you and those bad ones that you have committed. Treat it as a sort of your letter to God, baring everything you feel and think about something.

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.

Practicing a spirit of gratitude. If you are used to complaining about everything, then there is no wonder why you are attracting more of them. Thats the mechanics. The more you think about it, the more they come to your attention. Rather than complain, spend some time to thank everything that you receive. You will 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. Last but the most important thing is to read the Bible. No matter how busy you are, find time to read excerpts from the Bible. Its the best way to strengthen your Faith. Plus, its great for empowering and refreshing your thoughts.

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.
