SOMETIMES WE SEEM to … adopt a one-size-fits-all paradigm of the spiritual disciplines that we all “ought” to live by. Without meaning to, we may adopt the idea (and convey to others) that we should all pray in this way, for this long, about these things, in this order; read this much of the Bible; give this much time each week; journal every day; and ________________ (add here your own personal practice that you feel guilty about not doing or not doing well enough). … But relationship with God is not a matter of rules. God invites us, instead, into an open-ended relationship.
- Mary Lou Redding
