Discipleship: "Small Steps"
Here are a few "small steps" you can take to further your relationship with God through Discipleship...
PRAYER: - Start every day with a simple greeting to God. Example: "Good morning, God. Please help me to do your will today." - Say a short "Grace" before you begin to eat a meal. Or start small and say Grace just once a day before a specific meal (e.g. breakfast or dinner). - Pick a short prayer that you will say silently each time you come to a red light while driving, are riding on an elevator at work each day, or even while you are showering or blow-drying your hair. - Pick any routine chore that you do each day and use it to help you remember to say a specific prayer BEFORE you begin the chore. (Examples: while you are waiting for the computer to boot up; at the beginning of study hall; when you start to prepare a family meal.) - Pick a specific time when, each day, you will stop everything and say the Lord's Prayer. (Example: 12:00 Noon or 6:00 p.m., or even 7:30 a.m.!) - Place a prayer booklet of small prayers where it can be seen daily. Try to say just one. - Use a prayer book to silently recite prayers while you lie down with your children until they fall asleep, or right before you go to sleep. - Say a prayer whenever you are alone in the car. Or say a prayer in the car together with your children on a specific short trip that you do regularly. (Example: drive to school; to a certain lesson; to church, etc.)
