Should everyone be expected to relate to God through the same spiritual pathway? At times we assume that because another Christian does not worship or connect to God in the same way as us, there must be something wrong with their faith. Unfortunately, we as Christians tend to question or criticize the legitimacy of any experience unfamiliar to us. God wants us to connect to him spiritually in worship and devotion according to the way he has made us. Understanding our spiritual temperaments allows us to discover how we best relate to God so that we can develop new ways of drawing close to him.

How is your prayer life?

Prayer is simply communication with God. It is one of the most critical spiritual disciplines that Christians are to engage in to grow in their relationship with God. Yet prayer is often a daunting task for most Christians. Richard Foster’s book, Prayer, provides a comprehensive understanding of various types of prayer. Foster divides prayer into three major movements. First, prayers that move inward focus on seeking the transformation we need. Next, prayers that move upward focus on the intimacy we need. Finally, prayers that move outward focus on the ministry we need.
