In the Bible, discipline is a virtue that allows a person to exercise self-control. It's often related to raising children, but it can also refer to a believer's ability to conform to the example of Jesus Christ. Some examples of religious disciplines include:
- Prayer: A way to connect with God, unload burdens, and give thanks. Prayer can be done at set times or throughout the day.
- Fasting: A practice of self-denial where you abstain from eating food for a period of time while still drinking water. Fasting can help you focus on and connect with God through prayer.
- Journaling: A way to record prayer requests, spiritual insights, guidance, or daily events.
- Solitude: A time to remove yourself from the influence of society and peers to find solace and strength.
- Bible intake: A practice that includes reading, studying, meditating, and memorizing Scripture.
- Worship: A spiritual discipline.
- Evangelism: A spiritual discipline.
- Serving: A spiritual discipline.
- Stewardship: A spiritual discipline.
- Learning: A spiritual discipline.
