Steps

Here’s a good word: do the doable. If you are struggling with something, look for the little wins. Make little steps to improve your spiritual life. 1% improvements. Don’t try to suddenly transform your life cold turkey. If you don’t spend any time in prayer, spend 5 minutes in prayer. Don’t try for more right now. Resist the urge to make it 10 minutes. Make it easy and look for the little wins. If you don’t know how to pray, find some written prayers and pray them.

Maybe you are further along in your Christian walk. If so, what are some Christian disciplines that you need to develop in. Fasting, resting, being a part of community instead of being overly individualistic, overcoming a bad habit. What is one small step you can take today.

Gracelets (small bits of grace) will come as you find daily victory in the small things and develop spiritual disciplines that last for a lifetime.
