Are you spiritually healthy? Are you alive spiritually? Are you thriving or are you just surviving?
- When we are spiritually healthy we tend to be focused, invigorated, patient, and generous.
- When we aren’t healthy spiritually we tend to be irritable, restless, and discontented.
“It’s interesting how seldom we talk about spiritual health. If you think about all the focus we place on physical health, and the billions of dollars we spend trying to achieve it, and then consider how little we talk about spiritual health, it says so much about the state of our culture.”
- Create a foundation to support your Spiritual vitality
The daily habit of prayer and meditation leads us to spiritual health.
- The more ingrained this habit becomes in our lives, the clearer we hear the voice of God.
- The clearer we hear the voice of God in our lives, the more likely we are to walk in his ways, honor his will, and experience the peace and happiness he yearns to fill us with.
- God invites us into a deep life of prayer so that he can fill us with a peace that nobody can take from us.
- We all need something that nobody can take from us.
- God wants to fill you with a peace that cannot be shaken; a peace that is untouchable.

We all have an inner life. This consists of our thoughts and feelings, our hopes and dreams, our character and our relationship with God.
We all have an outer life, which consists of the things we do, places we go, and things we build on our own.
- We tend to focus on the outer life, but it is only a tiny fraction of our life.
- Much more takes place as part of the inner life.
- The outer life is an overflow of the inner life.
What am I here for? What matters most? What matters least?
- We rarely notice the most significant moments in our lives while they are actually happening.
- How is your prayer life?
Continue to focus on the interior life.
- The more you pay attention to your spiritual health, the more attuned you will be to your spiritual needs.
- When your body is hungry, your stomach growls.
- Your soul has ways of showing you it is hungry too.
- When we get impatient, does our soul need attention?
- Over time you will learn to listen to the cravings of your soul.
- Some days we crave silence.
