It is a shame how often Bible study or activities of the church rely on structure at the expense of following the Spirit's lead, and whether methods are our particular weakness or not, I think there is always the danger of prayer time, Bible reading, or any other supposedly spiritual endeavor becoming a ritual of the mind and body, not an act of our spirits hungering for the Divine Spirit. This line is a wonderful one to remember: "Our only hope is in the Father, who by His Holy Spirit, teaches us and conforms our hearts by the truth to become more like Jesus Christ." He is truly a wonderful Teacher and Counsellor! Thanks for your openness, Daniel, and your advice.
