There are things we can do to increase our spiritual formation and attend to the grace of God in our lives. One thing we have to be careful about is that these disciplines do not become their own religion. We cannot expect anything if we are not doing them for the right reasons...to grow closer to God and attend to God’s grace in our lives. If used properly, these means become a channel by which God’s grace overflows in us. The chief means of spiritual formation is prayer. This is true simply because we only need to ask God to receive His grace. It is the most direct form of contact with God. We must attend to the grace of God in our lives regularly, through prayer. May God be with us as we earnestly seek him in prayer.
