Sustaining Each Other

We need each other to sustain our faith. As an example, at one stage I worked for 13 years in a Catholic school where there were half a dozen Sisters on the staff. I wasn't particularly conscious of their influence on me, but noticed that my faith flagged a bit during the long holiday. Worshipping together every week helps us.
 
Praying and reading the Bible daily are very important. For the past 10 years or so Jon and I have had our prayer and meditation time together. That would have been very hard to organise when we were younger. However, praying out loud together has helped us a lot in understanding each other, and God.
 
Books have always helped me. When I was working, time was at a premium, so reading didn't happen so often, but if I had a burning issue I'd find the time.
