There is an enormous difference between trying to do something and training to do something.
-Trying to do a marathon won’t work.
-Training to do a marathon will work.
Example: sin of lack of Joy
Cant’ try harder to have Joy. Have to train for it.
What are some practices that can train me for joy?
-Make a JOY JOURNAL of things you're thankful from today and what you hope for tomorrow.
-Do things you love to do….events, people, food. Keep the joy-suckers out!
Example: patience
-Deliberately drive in the slow lane, wait in long line at grocery store. Looking for God to help you develop patience as opposed to just saying “I should be more patient.”
Everyone chose 1 thing they wanted to train for.
Here's a list of some of the things: Joy, Peace, Spiritual Conversations, Time alone with God, Spiritual Disciplines.
