Spiritual Discipline:

Spiritual disciplines are practices that we willingly pursue in response to a God who created us, saved us, and guides us. Spiritual disciplines draw us closer to God, deepen our understanding of who he is, and help make us into the men and women he desires us to become.

Spiritual disciplines are not something that we do out of guilt or obligation; they are not a way to gain God’s attention or earn our way to heaven.

The list of spiritual disciplines is varied and inexact.  Prayer, Bible study, fasting, and meditation are commonly sighted examples of spiritual disciplines.  Many people end the list with these four, whereas others add additional activities.
