Day 1: Getting Started
Begin the habit of constantly talking to God.
Wisdom from Brother Lawrence
To develop a habit of constantly talking to God and attributing all we do to Him, we initially need to make a deliberate effort. However, with a little persistence, we will soon find that His love naturally motivates us to do this without any struggle.
We shouldn't be surprised if we frequently fall short in our early attempts. But with time, we'll develop a habit that will naturally manifest in our actions, without needing our constant attention. And this will bring us immense joy.
Scripture
1 Thessalonians 5:16-19
Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in everything; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Don't stifle the Spirit.
