I often wish I am perfect like the saints in their seemingly seamless devotion in to God. I imagine their daily walk with God filled with a healthy prayer life, deep meditative moments, a deep relationship with God, and sinless in their mortal walk – until my Spiritual Director reminded me we don’t see the challenges and grunts in between whats left behind in their rich books, prayers, and legacy.
The reality is I am flawed and imperfect, but I strive to be self aware. Yes, there are days, weeks and sometimes months when my prayer life has its ups and downs. There are months of prayerful devotion, then days of light murmurs, but always with an awareness of the living Jesus in my heart.
It was a lightbulb moment for me!
Yes, my spiritual journey has months of inspiring heights, there are also dry spells (I call this my 40 days in the desert) along with silence, and sprinkles of spiritual awakening.
The path is rarely straight and always filled with surprises.
What keeps me grounded even when I am seemingly distracted is God is active in my life and world. Discerning God’s presence in my everyday life is what keeps me grounded – a step ahead of the traps around me.
Let’s pray for one another to walk closely with Jesus.
God Bless 🩷🙏
