How do you live your faith?  | | How do you live your faith? I'm not asking what your beliefs are. Rather, how do you walk the walk?
For me, the spirituality is a way of life. I am in a routine of praying throughout the day informally and then praying formally at least twice. I try to treat others how I would want to be treated, and I try to spread my blessings around to others in need. I find myself aware of the Spirit of God being with me and I try to focus on that.
Of course, I do mess up and have bad days like anyone else. It's then that I try to ask for forgiveness and get back on track in terms of focusing on the Spirit of God.

We do not need to ask God for anything for the universal mind knows all our needs without our asking. I try to live my faith and think anything else simply makes no sense. Living the golden rule as you mention is the way I try to live my life. I am human, so of course I often fail. I don't have to confess to a God who understands whether I'm really trying or not. My prayers are prayers of gratitude my faith is that before I ask, it is answered. Affirmative prayer helps because it helps change us, nothing changes God.To me life itself is a prayer,every thought, every word, every action. Blessings.

abkinsey (165) | 7 months ago | Ah, I see you are a mystic.:-)
Have you read any Howard Thurman? He is my absolute favorite Christian mystic theologian. If you haven't yet, you might check out "Jesus and the Disinherited." I was introduced to him while working on my master's in seminary and was totally enthralled.:-D

| | 2. Ravenladyj (17909) | 7 months ago | how do I live my faith? By living, thinking, feeling and acting with loving kindness and being mindful..I am openminded and have a very open heart. I realize and act on the fact that everyone has a story to tell..and we all need someone to not only listen but to hear ya know...I respect all living things to the best of my ability (though I do have those off days ya know)..I realize that all things are connected and have "life" flowing through them and I respect that..I take responsiblity for my actions and dont do the whole "the devil made me do it" thing (mind you I dont believe in the devil but you get what I mean I'm sure)..I know that everything happens for a reason and there are lessons to be learned and taught in every single thing that happens in our lives....those are just a small few things..there is much more though...
