Daily Practices as Christians?

[JCFantasy23]

@JorB2 writing stuff down really helps it to stick, I agree with that. I gotta find a really nice journal for that, and a beautiful space on a desk. It would be nice to design and create this beauty with flowers and pictures.

I also have a daily devotional stickied to the bottom of my computer screen, an area called the shelf

I just click on the icon and read the daily devotional there.


Here is a very good one I enjoy and wanted to share with you:

Thank you! I will check it out. I've been listening to some podcasts this morning from Ancient Faith Radio. It's good to keep the encouragement up, I just need to keep in the habit of doing all this daily!

Yeah; that sounds beautiful. It helps to have a very quiet place to be in solitude to journal/study.

I think I don't so much practice my faith anymore, as much as God practices faith on me.

Sometimes I listen to hymns on youtube, though, or find myself singing a bit of a hymn. It's good to have something uplifting occasionally.

I was wondering what all your various daily practices and study habits are for growing in the faith?

Thanks!

Prayer, especially the daily 15-decade Rosary. Also, spiritual reading.

I have christian books I read or I will listen to teaching on YouTube. Lately I have been spending four or five hours a day to study annotated teaching about the Bible. When I study the Bible I look up related scriptures that talk about the same thing. Or I study a word in the original language.

I try to keep the instruction of praying all day, every day, open as much as possible by keeping an open-ended prayer. When I first wake up I say a short prayer, I pray on the way to work, I pray throughout work, I pray when inspiration or thoughts occur throughout the day, and I pray before bed.

I love the Youversion app on my phone, and will randomly read a series of devotional and scripture on various topics.

Recently I have tried to increase my study and understanding for various theology and church history by free courses from different sources - right now it's mainly a few websites and Our Daily Bread Christian University. Everyone learns differently, and while I learn well from reading I'm not the best at retaining information and order in my mind, so I have a private blogger blog for Christian study. When studying these courses I make different blog posts typing out the things that stand out to me and help me organize it in my head. I also have sections for further things to look into, advice from other christians, favorite devotionals, inspirational videos, etc.

What websites do you use for free courses? I would love to learn more about the early church, history of the church in general, and theology too. Thank you JCfantacy

Credo Courses is running a lot of sales right now and a lot of their digital content is free (either audio or video, sometimes both). Just grabbed a bunch. Credo Course Sale

Thanks!

Prayer, study of God's word (with a concordance, interlinear Greek-English/Hebrew-English Bible, expository Bible dictionaries, a parallel Bible (KJV/NASB/YLT, and some trusted Bible commentaries - Jamieson-Fawcett-Brown, Warren Wiersbe, Matthew Henry, Adam Clark, etc.), and the practice of surrender. Increasingly, I am seeing the enormous importance of enjoying God, of delighting in Him every day and how this pleasure in walking with Him is the ground out of which my entire life with Him grows.

I recite the Shema upon rising and retiring each day. And I pray the Jesus Prayer using Anglican Prayer beads (Chotki-like) daily on my work drive time.

As often as I can I pray the abbreviated version of The Daily Office in the Book of Common Prayer (known as "Daily Devotions for Individuals and Families"). I find the full Daily Office too time consuming most days. Although I have incorporated the full Daily Office as part of my Lenten Ritual. An example may be found here: www.missionstclare.com/english/

I keep a Bible by my bed and read when I feel like it, although over time I have become more invested in prayer than Bible reading.
