Getting Ready - Pt. 1

Advent, like Lent, is a time of preparation. There is no better way to prepare your soul for God than with prayer. If you are serious about persuing God and in growing in the spiritual life, then the only way is by regular, that means daily, times of prayer. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and its righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." Make a time of complete solitude, total avoidance of people, business and "stuff to do." Seek the God hidden within you. Without this regular prayer time, we are just pretending to live a spiritual life, even the most simple one.
