    No, I did not give up my spiritual disciplines during the pandemic. My Spiritual discipline was increased to where I was doing more online Bible courses than before the pandemic. Yes, I would say that the pandemic crisis did bring out the best in me. Philippians 4:8 – helped me to think of things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.
    And reflecting on the theme of this lesson is that God is with us. God is here during this time. God is present throughout all covid and will continue to be.

    I have now returned to my daily devotional reading and prayer journaling

      I found it easier to listen to sermons and find encouraging groups online to participate in.

    I stopped going to church but listened to the church service on Facebook. It just wasn’t the same. Our church never has closed during the pandemic. I did eventually go back and it has made a difference to my spiritual disciplines.
    I also go to Sunday school. I need to go back to choir but haven’t felt comfortable with the idea.

    On the surface, I had not given up my spiritual disciplines during the pandemic but did them more as a ritual than really had the desire for God. There had been a period that I was a bit depressed and quickly gloss over preparing Sunday School lessons, doing my devotion and attending online services half heartedly and moved onto other things.

    The fact that I teach Sunday School is how God’s words always convict me and I can only drift away so much. Realizing where I have failed short of God’s expectation is always the turning point for me to examine my heart and time to ask for God’s grace to restore me.
