Practise – the way to keep growing

Lord, give me today my daily bread. As I reflectively ‘chew’ on the events of today and my reactions, may they provide nourishment for my spiritual growth.

Our thoughts and behaviours today lay the foundation for our life tomorrow. As Auschwitz survivor Edith Eger writes in The Gift, ‘Change is synonymous with growth. To grow, you’ve got to evolve instead of revolve.’ In our busy world, it is easy to simply revolve through the tasks and routines that comprise our weeks and years. God’s Spirit is the motivating force bringing life and growth. We have a choice to cooperate with or resist His action in our lives. The prayer tools offered in Growing on the Frontline are designed to help us to grow when intentionally practised. With God’s help, let’s evolve, grow, and bear much fruit!
