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.
