Here are some ideas for practicing the spiritual disciplines of submission, service, and confession: ·      To focus on the spiritual virtue of humility, print James 4:10 and Luke 14:11 on a card and place it where you will see it daily for a week. Each time you see it, prayerfully read the verses and ask the Lord to help you grow in humility and in the corresponding spiritual disciplines.·      If you want to practice the spiritual discipline of submission, set aside some time to pray and journal, answering the following questions: o   In the last month, when have I demanded my own way or been frustrated when I have not gotten my own way? o   Am I fearful of submitting to others because of any abusive situations in my past? If so, have I sought appropriate support or professional counseling? Do I truly believe there is such a thing as healthy submission? o   How could I be a better spouse, parent, child, employee, friend, or ministry partner if I learned to lovingly submit and put others ahead of myself?·
