actively practicing discipline

“So be made strong even in your weakness by lifting up your tired hands in prayer and worship. And strengthen your weak knees, for as you keep walking forward on God’s paths all your stumbling ways will be divinely healed!”
~ Hebrews 12:12-13 The Passion Translation (TPT)

What are the spiritual disciplines?
When Christians speak of “spiritual disciplines” they usually mean regular practices that benefit our lives and produce fruit. Much like the discipline of daily exercise or reading will produce benefits in our lives.

The Bible has no comprehensive “spiritual disciplines list” we should practice, but it does give us commands to do certain things on a regular basis. And when we do, they produce fruit in our lives.

… But before you feel overwhelmed: the key is to start small and try to make them habits.

Spiritual Discipline #1: Meditate on God’s Word. Apart from the Bible, we CAN’T know what God is like.

Spiritual Discipline #2: Giving Thanks. We can thank God in all circumstances because he is sovereign over all things, he is infinitely wise and infinitely loving.

Spiritual Discipline #3: Prayer. It’s hard to overstate the importance of this spiritual discipline for the Christian life. Prayer is simply asking God for help or strength or provision.
