Maintain your spiritual health!!

Pay attention to your Spiritual health:

Don't forget that you are spirit as well as body and mind. Listen to your heart and look at your life and do what is necessary to keep it healthy. The peace and love is there, all that you need to be healthy and happy. The magic is in you to know the answers for your life, for your well being. 
Psalm 145: 15,16. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.  
You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

Develop good habits to look after yourself, including your spirit! Spend the time you need to listen, to your life, your world, others close to you and that small voice inside of you that comes from love. Don't forget your friends. Go out and have quality time with them! And ask God for help in everything. God is always there to help you!

Grow spiritually:

Increase your  prayer time, your meditation time, your time to think things through. Get out and get involved with others, live!! You exercise to keep your body strong, exercise your spirit. Listen to others and pray for them, pray with them. Trust God enough to love others with your actions. Change you attitude and be thankful for your life and all the blessings it offers. 

John 15:5. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
2 Peter 3:18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
Ephesians 3: 17-19. so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

Top 10 Ways to Boost Spiritual Health  
(From The Christian Post)
1) Prayer; silence and solitude:
Spending time in God’s presence, with or without words, empowers us. It is a privilege and a gift to be able to commune with God through prayer.

2) Listening to God; spiritual journaling:
Listening-paying attention-to God’s whispers in our hearts reminds us that God is active in our lives. Writing down prayers, thoughts, questions, longings and hopes proves meaningful to many people of faith.

3) Private and corporate worship:
Praising God opens us to the Holy Spirit, reorders our priorities and redirects our paths. Worship connects us to God on a wholistic level.
4) Bible-reading and study:
Meditating on God’s Word keeps us focused on God, rather than on our problems and wants. Through the Bible God speaks to us and guides us personally.

5) Obeying God’s commands:
Putting our faith into practice increases our joy. This is one of the paradoxes of faith: when we submit ourselves to God, we find ourselves-and in an odd way, we are freed.

6) Loving God and our neighbors:
Surrendering to God leads us to a life of love. God is love, and when we live and serve in Christ, we experience love ourselves.
7) Stepping out in faith when urged to do something:
Trusting in God’s guidance strengthens our faith. When we dare to step out in faith, we learn that God is with us wherever we go and that God is more powerful than our fear.

8) Fasting, not necessarily from food-perhaps from TV or something else: Finding time or space to pay attention to God by giving up something else blesses us beyond measure. We need to guard our hearts as well as our time from distractions.
9) Serving others:
Reorienting our attitude away from self keeps us on the right track. Following Jesus in serving others heightens our own experience of grace.

10) Fellowship with other believers:
Building and being part of a Christian community equips us for sharing and caring, within and beyond that community. The values of God’s kingdom are different than those of the world, so we need the support and encouragement of other believers in order to truly live as Christians in our daily lives.
