There seems to have been a problem with the link in the original post for today. So let’s try this fun project.

Life as Spiritual Practice
I originally intended to write about creativity as spiritual practice, but realized all of life is spiritual practice. We can study, meditate and perform other spiritual practices to achieve enlightenment, but it’s in the big and small stuff of daily life where we learn how to live as spiritual beings in physical bodies. Many of the troubles in the world seem to come from the disconnect between God and daily life.
Now is the time to realize that God is with us every minute of our lives, not just in church on Sunday. How do we do this? How might the world change if we did?
- Remember our thoughts are prayers. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing and that God knows our need before we ask. Every thought and word that comes from us goes out in the Universe and comes back to us in one way or another. Doesn’t this make you want to be more careful in what you think or say?
- I Release and I Let Go is not only a song with catchy tune, it is a reminder. Releasing and letting go of the stuff that no longer serves us is something we need to do often.
- We are one with God, each other and the earth. Separation is a myth. If we could begin to see God in others I guarantee the world would change.
- God doesn’t always speak to us in big flashy ways. Listen for God in the silence.
Living the spiritual life doesn’t always come easy. That’s why we call it a practice. What are some of the ways you practice your faith in daily life?
