Hi Quinn: I just saw this post. I replied to your post last night but I'm having trouble figuring out this site. I didn't even see your reply to me until a day later. Where do you go on this site to see if you have a reply to a post. I thought they sent an email when your post had a reply and you opened the email for the reply to come up. At the end of my answer to your post last night, the system said that posts cannot be more than 1000 characters. However, they don't tally the characters as you write. If you haven't noticed, I tend to write too much. Writing is a nice form of communication and you can always go back and study what was written to you. What do you mean by coloring the scenes? To answer your question in this post, I don't have a ritual way to pray. I speak to G-d and pray all day and night in my waking hours. However, it seems to be a one way conversation. I don't hear G-d talking back. If I do hear something, I'm not sure if it is G-d talking or my own self- talk. I am in constant communion with G-d. How do I learn to listen to G-d without wondering if I'm talking to myself? If G-d confirms a prayer by answering it, I know it was heard. I need to learn how to listen to G-d and don't know how, or if, G-d even talks to me. I've been a believer for 21 years. I have really never been personally discipled. I should know by now how to hear G-d's voice. Bless you, Steven

This is an interesting topic. What do people do regularly for their spiritual lives?
I used to pray the Rosary every day for a while back in about 2008. I got to the point where I prayed it morning and night. I stopped doing it several years ago because I fell out with the Catholic Church and Rosary praying went with it. Nowadays, I just make sure to pray the Lord's prayer each day. It doesn't take as much time as praying the Rosary, but it is something that Jesus told us to do.
I read the whole Bible from 2021 to 2022. It took me less than a year. I definitely grew as a reader because I learned to read faster and for longer periods of time. It takes a lot of patience. I remember the day I finished it because it was the day when the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision. It was nice to finally read the whole thing because I started it years beforehand, but never finished it. Now I know the whole story.
I keep the Sabbaths nowadays. As a Catholic, I was never raised to not work on the Sabbaths. I was just told to make sure to go to Mass once on the weekends. From reading the Bible itself, I have learned to take the Sabbaths as a holy day of rest. I wonder why most of Christianity does not forbid work on the Sabbaths. What happened that made believers to abandon the Sabbath as a day of rest? It seems like the Jews and the Seventh Day Adventists are the only ones that keep to this important commandment.

We are given the opportunity to be in one on one relationship, so I stay in Him 24/7, wajing in the middle of the night a sweet hymn will be playing in my mind.
Jesus told us ALL things are new in Him, we now seek and walk in one on one relationship with Him.
"My sheep know my voice" is what He told His own, He didn't say "My sheep read my book", or "My sheep perform rituals and repetitive prayers".
Blessings

Hello Quinn, I am an african american christian, 60 years old. I saw your question today in the miscellaneous section and read the replies. It is inspiring to see what other christians are doing. I thank you for sharing your post, God has indeed worked through you. The main things that I do have already been shared, I pray and read Bible verses every day in the morning and at night; also I pray during the day according to what circumstances I am dealing with that day. In the morning and
at night I listen to christian music and this helps me a lot. You can contact me through christian chat or through my email address [email protected]. Right now my life is very difficult but I am trusting God one day at a time (If any other christians linked to Quinn's post wish to contact me by email it is alright with me. I thank God for this social network that allows us to connect with others who believe in Jesus)

I always pray in the morning with my wife, I pray when I get to work in the parking lot for a little bit, I pray sometime in the afternoon and I read my Bible before I go to sleep. Pretty much my routine. Me and my wife sing together usually at least once during the week usually a hymnal. We go to church on Sunday and Wednesday night. I try and talk to someone about something spiritual at work whenever the opportunity arises. Oh, and a lot of times when I get home from work I will raise my hands and pray and thank the Lord for another day and thank Him for helping me through another day. That's my routine stuff.
