How important is spirituality in your life?

View all responses

My spiritual journey has not been an easy one!! I was brought up in a Christian home and went to church every Sunday, which as a child i absolutely hated. It felt more like a punishment to have to wake up early on Sunday morning to go and sit at church which i found quite boring. However, as a child i never took to time to understand anything that was being taught to me or how much it could benefit my well-being.

However, in my adult life the things that i was subconsciously learning as a child have really helped me get through a lot of the hard times in my life. Whether it be me getting comfort from a scripture or listening to gospel music as a way to calm my spirit Christianity has brought me peace of mind. My mum always taught me that when you feel like you have no one to talk to, talk to god because he sees and understands you better than anyone else, and that really didn’t mean much to me until i was going through my own struggles. When i felt like no one else understood or had the time to listen to me, i found myself crying out to god for clarity and understanding.

I may not go to church every Sunday or pray everyday but I definitely believe in god, and even though sometimes i find it hard to keep the faith i truly believe that God is there as a guiding light to get you through the dark times. ❤️
