This will be the last quote on prayer since we had our Oscar night last Sunday instead of regular Sunday School. Again, it's from Oswald Chambers.
"Physical sloth will upset spiritual devotion quicker than anything else. If the devil cannot get at us by enticing to sin, he will get at us by sleeping-sickness spiritually--"No, you cannot possibly get up in the morning to pray, you are working hard all day and you cannot give that time to prayer. God does not expect it of you." Jesus says God does expect it of us. Penance means doing hardship for the body for the sake of developing the spiritual life."--Oswald Chambers
In what ways to we tend to be physically lazy when it comes to the spiritual life? Do you agree or disagree with the idea that we can have a "sleeping-sickness" spiritual life? What are some practical steps you can be taking to develop a deeper spiritual life?
