These days I can tell if I have not take the time to do a little stretching. My body feels stiff and I am not quite as nimble as I would like to be.

My spiritual life is like that, too!

If I don’t keep up with my regular routine of prayer and intercession or digging into God’s Word, I can feel it in my soul — I feel a little off and out of sorts. And I am surely more inflexible and less Kingdom minded.

But it is so easy to get out of my good routines and habits. A change in location often throws me off.

Stretching is important. My body and mind need it every day. But my spirit needs it more than anything. A few stretches here and there help me to be open and my reflexes are more controlled. I am more able to respond and not react.

How do you spiritually stretch?
