What comes to mind when you think about thriving in your faith? Does it seem doable? In this episode we are diving into what it means to thrive in your faith and the foundation for doing this in a lifegiving sustainable way.

Practical Step

At the beginning of your devotional time, I encourage you to start with a short prayer expressing two things:

1. What you are concerned about or thinking about as you come into your devotional time.  This could range from something weighing you down to simply anticipating the events of the day.
2. Express a desire for God to speak to you during your devotional time and to address whatever you stated in response to the first question.

As you express this desire remember the promise: “The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

This does not have to be a long drawn out process. You can say this prayer in less than a minute. On the other hand if there is a time you find yourself coming to your devotional time with a heavy heart then you can take as long as you need to articulate your thoughts.  You can pray this  out loud or write it down. This is one easy step in building the habit of talking to God about your life consistently.
