My fellow sippers,
What keeps you going throughout the week? How do you feed your spiritual appetite until refilling your cup on Sundays?
I am blessed to have been raised in a household with two parents who encouraged engagement with the Lord. I find myself now reading my Bible daily, talking to the Lord, writing what He speaks to me. I was always intimidated about spirituality because I THOUGHT that I had to be formal with everything. I thought that there was a certain way to read the Bible and to pray, but as I am growing and maturing spiritually I am learning that I can be as informal as can be. He accepts us as we are and there is not a particular formality to having a relationship with Him. So what if I hold long conversations with Him while driving or taking a shower? I don't always have to get on my knees to converse with my Heavenly Father. I don't always have to have a Bible in front of me, it's okay for me to read my Bible on my phone or to have an audio version of the Bible playing while in my car.
Something new that I've started is whenever I read a scripture that really speaks to me, I write the scripture on my bathroom mirror with a dry erase marker. By doing this, I am constantly reminding myself of what I've read and to implement it in my daily routine. I frequently visit my mirror in the morning, throughout the day, and typically before I go to bed at night. I have posted my personal prayers on my wall next to my bed so that it could be the first thing I see when I wake up and before I go to sleep.
It is important for us to constantly feed our spirit and it does not have to be formal. I do believe that we should reverence the Lord by kneeling down to pray, but He hears our prayers just as much if we're riding in the car.
Begin your mornings with a prayer and a daily dose of the Word. If waking up early is hard for you to do (as with myself) then spend your entire shower time in praise and worship. At all costs, make time for the One who gives you life, health, and strength each day.
-Be ENCOURAGED..BE ENGAGED...
With Love,
The King's Daughter
