One key that I have learned to keep a vibrant spiritual life is continual change. Whenever I start into a season where I feel stale and stagnant in my personal growth, I change my routine. This can often breathe new life into my old habits.

One example would be when my prayer life seems lifeless. This is an excellent time to try praying in a different physical position or location. Standing, kneeling, and praying out loud have helped me reengage spiritually.

Sometimes, it means changing the routine that I use to pray. Starting with the needs of others and then moving to my needs allows me to refocus. A prayer journal might keep my thoughts clear and give me a place to write down how prayers were answered. Small changes in my daily habits can help me find the passion I have lost.

If you are going to read and pray every day for the rest of your life, you will need to change your approach to those two practices frequently. One little change can often help you focus mentally or eliminate distractions.

So, don’t give up if you are struggling with keeping the spiritual disciplines. Try something different.
