#5 Deepening Your Walk With God

A vital practise for Christians right now is maintaining our walk with God. Even though we really can’t go outside, our walk of faith is something we should be investing in now more than ever.

Helping you find new practices and resources for spiritual growth during self-isolation, these ideas show ways to deepen your relationship with God. Through these, you’ll find a measure of consolation and calm.

The Need to Reflect and Pray

In the Psalms, the author of Psalm 121 asks ‘I look to the hills, where does my help come from?’

Where do we look to for help now?

Right now, there has never been more need in our lives for prayer and reflection. Aside from being a safely solitary endeavour, the best way for making it through the impositions of self-isolation is by turning to God in prayer and reflection.

Offering both ways to carve out the time for prayer and resources to help you find the words, our guide to prayer through the Coronavirus crisis will help you seek words of comfort, solace and hope.

Tackling the Classics (Christian Books Bucket List)

For many, self-isolation has been a time to tick a few essential reads off their bucket list. If you are feeling inspired to tackle some of the great books that have informed and shaped Christianity as we know it today, here are our pick of Christian classics to dig into. Some newer, some older, all of them life-changing.

Practice Committing Bible Verses to Memory

There is a profound difference between knowing something and holding that knowledge close to your heart. Many faiths instil a commitment to memory of their sacred texts from a very young age. Memorising the Bible is like carrying a treasure in your pocket at all times.

With a few practices you can try for yourself, and a handpicked selection of verses to memorise, having more of God’s word in your memory is a lasting way to deepen your walk with God.

Start a Devotional

You don’t need to spend long stretches of time in silence to deepen your relationship with God. If you only have a few minutes of time, then a few minutes is all you need for a devotional book.

Picked to suit every level of busyness, these devotional books are a series of small pathways on the journey of faith. The chance to stop for a moment and draw a measure of peace and understanding from the Bible.
