With the fast paced way of living we have right now, we are tricked into believing that doing nothing means unproductivity. Its as if working day in and day out will make our lives better. For some yes, but reality speaks of something different. We see a lot of people spend their whole lives working, but still end up not having the happy lives that they deserve had they spent time to stop and listen to God.
You can plan out however you want, execute it as fast as you dare. But the end will always remain uncertain. A good start does not guarantee a good end. My spiritual life journey has taught me a lot of things that went beyond what the society is teaching us. In fact, it allowed me to think beyond what people are considered as necessary and important.
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.
Minutes of silence. As mentioned, this can be difficult. But nothing comes great without any difficulty. Find a room or any place in your home where you can spend some time in silence away from any hassle. You do not have to think about anything. The first minute may seem like hours but the more you do this, the higher the likability of you, hearing the words of God. This is also a good time to pray.
Offering daily thanksgiving. Complaining is a waste of energy. It gives you bad vibes which can ultimately affect the quality of work that you do within the day. Thanksgiving on the other hand has a very beneficial effect. It makes you feel good and allows you to start the day right. No matter how small, thank the Lord for it.
Seeing things in a positive light. You cannot set aside the presence of negativity all over. You do not have control over them. However, you can definitely do something to make sure that they do not worsen. Recognize the bad thing but see beyond it. What could be the good thing that can come out of this.
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.
