Spirituality feels like a clm summer morning

Spirituality looks like a sunrise over the ocean

Spirituality smells like flowers in the spring

Spirituality tastes like freshly baked bread

Spirituality sounds like waking up to birds chirping

Spirituality gives you a deeper connection to the world, and a sense of purpose. Having those deeper connections helps you appreciate life, and everything around you. To keep a strong spiritual connection, you should do activities that you feel bring peace to your mind. Personally, I feel at peace when I pray, so I make it a habit to pray daily. If you find that sense of calmness from an activity like meditation, then you should try to incorporate meditation into your routine.

Romans 12:9 “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good“

In the world today, there are so many people who fake kindness, and hide their intentions. When you meet someone with a pure heart, who truly loves you, you should do everything in your power to reciprocate and keep them close.

Psalms 39:12-13

“Hear my prayer, Lord,
listen to my cry for help;
do not be deaf to my weeping.
I dwell with you as a foreigner,
a stranger, as all my ancestors were.
Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again
before I depart and am no more.”

This prayer connects to my view of spirituality because it involves relying on God. In this prayer you are essentially asking God for help, and guidance. You believe that he will be there for you, and comfort you.

A spiritual practice that is important to me is prayer. When I pray, I feel at peace. I feel as though God is listening to me, comforting, and guiding me in my struggles. I feel connected to something that is bigger than myself, my city, and my country. I pray everyday, and through this simple act I grow my spirituality.

Tyler Childers Luke 2:8-10

This song is quite clearly religious, but the language he uses, and the style of song are what make it stand out. To me, Jesus' life is an enormous part of my spirituality. Luke 2:8-10 is a passage where an angel delivers the news of Jesus' birth to shepherds. At first, they are frightened, but the angle reassures them, and they are filled with hope and joy for the upcoming birth of our saviour. Tyler Childers is one of my favorite country artists, and his songs always have beautiful language. This song in particular, uses imagery to tell this bible story.

This painting depicts Jesus at the garden before his death on the cross. At this point, Jesus knew that he was going to die. He was scared, and he turned to God. While I Cannot even imagine the pain he was in, I know what it is like to turn to God in a time of need. I believe that it helps me, just like it helped Jesus.
