Give us this day our daily bread… these words from the Lord’s Prayer is having us ask for spiritual and sustenance food from our Creator every day.
Also we need to in our prayers be inviting, walking with Jesus daily, and thus bringing peace, purpose, and strength to our living days.
What Does It Mean to Walk with Jesus Daily?
First in faith to walk with Jesus daily is more than a religious routine. It’s a relationship that shapes our thoughts, choices, and identity every single day.
There goes the quote attributed to Jim Rohn,
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with”
So spending time daily with Jesus will surely bring in us a transformation to make us mirror that of Jesus.
In today’s fast-paced world, where our days are occupied with many a to-do list and the accompanying endless distractions, it can feel hard to stay spiritually inclined.
We need to thus make a commitment that is highly powerful and transformative for every Christian by faith that is walking with Jesus daily.
Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did. (1 John 2:6)
In our fast paced modern days, our Walking with Jesus wouldn’t be for the whole day but finding or walking into moments in breaks as the day passes is surely a good start or an immensely fruitful deed.
Living these small connections of Jesus in thoughts would have Him live and walk with us just as He had with His disciples when He walked on Earth, it’s like your transporting rather time travelling in spirit to be with Jesus more 2000 years back amidst their loose and flowing garments, you there walking in your denims and tees, still not looking out of place as walking alongside Jesus is making you look serene and bright.
Walking with Jesus daily is not that you need to be perfect, it’s about life finding progress in spirit and purpose.
It’s not just you but even the “Son of God” desires to walk with you, guiding our steps, speaking to us heart-to-heart, and teaching us through life’s many a ups and downs and all that’s goes in between.
Walking with Jesus is not only when you’re down in life, depressed and broken. It’s an every day journey.
But is it easy to walk this walk every day in a world that’s constantly pulling and pushing us in different directions?
Yes it won’t be easy but we need to make a choice, inviting Jesus into every part of our life and moments.
It’s about making an effort and a spiritual will saying, “Jesus, I want to follow you today, and everyday”
Jesus in His love for us has promised us,
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)
Finding ways to walk with Jesus Daily?
Walking with Jesus isn’t just what we hear in sermons in the Church, it’s a practical yet intimate, day to day relationship with the Son of God.
- Letting Him into our ordinary routines
It’s better that you think of Jesus and His words when you’re cooking than when in Church and praying and thinking what to cook for dinner…
Invite Jesus in your ordinary moments, He is not confined to Sunday service and moments of troubles and your life persecutions.
Walking Jesus into your daily moments will intently bless those moments turning them as special.
- Talking to Jesus throughout the day.
You must be too busy at work with lesser time to even eat at peace that doesn’t hold you back to talk to Jesus even of your modern work, technical and Ai jargons, don’t worry Jesus is not bound by time and space and confined to the Jerusalem days when He walked on Earth, He can give you not just mystic but also some tech and Ai savvy tips.
So do the walking with Jesus daily in words too.
- Trusting Jesus with your Un-certainties
All troubles and pains of your life you will be sharing only with persons you can trust and hope for some aid.
There’s nobody more trustworthy in your entire life then the divine Jesus whom you can trust with them all.
He will find a way where there seem to be no way… goes the promise.
For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. (Isaiah 43:19)
- Listen and obey Him
God is talking to us, in prayers in signs, through words from others. We need to listen to Him and obey God.
Our wishes won’t be always God’s will and what is our good.
To obey is to surrender to His will for our life.
How more to walk with Jesus Daily?
Let’s be honest. Most of us don’t have hours to spare for spiritual retreat every morning or at day with our busy life.
Jesus seeks not our hours but just heartfelt moments of intimacy and love.
Here’s how you can walk with Jesus daily:
- Start your day with the Lord. (Even it’s just for 2 minutes)
Let your day begin with a short prayer or a bible verse, a protection prayer (Psalm 91).
Talk to God, placing your day ahead at His feet, surrendering your fears, doubts, anxieties at His feet, and it doesn’t matter if all this you’re doing as you brush your teeth.
A whispered “Good morning, Lord. Lead me today.” is better than being silent and lost in some other thoughts.
- Bible App and Music
As you get started for the day, skip the T.V news and rather opt for some holy songs or bible verses and devotion apps in the background between your bath and eating breakfast, and also listen to some podcast as you drive or use public transport for work.
- Bible verses
Walking with Jesus daily is absent without scriptures where the Lord resides. Whenever at day just scroll through the Bible verse of the day as read at Holy Eucharist or some other app that you have subscribed for your daily bread of God’s food for the soul in Bible scriptures.
- Holy Moments
Moments even a minute or two or more spend walking with Jesus daily in your thoughts is your divine moment, just you and the Lord.
Important is the intention not the duration.
Creating moments with Jesus, however small is creating space for Jesus in your ever filled life.
When you tune your soul to hear Jesus, you’ll start recognizing His voice even in chaos.
What happens when you walk with Jesus Daily?
Only good happens is the answer for a person of faith.
Your life doesn’t become perfect, but it surely becomes purposeful.
- Peace Replaces Panic
Even if everything around you is stagnant and unchanged, the change is happened inside you.
The burdens are not of yours alone to carry, Jesus is your helper, His peace guards you mind like armor.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
- Your Decisions Gain Clarity
As you go walking with Jesus daily you will now start seeing life not through anxieties but through faith.
Jesus is not only walking to be with you, He begins to shape your priorities, influence your thoughts, and guide your steps all the way.
- Identity, Not Just Activity
Jesus’ presence will remind us and bring to fore our worth.
Our work, achievements, and wealth is not our worth, our worth was and will remain in our being a beloved child of the Almighty God.
- Spiritually Engraved
Temptations come. Depressions hit.
But walking with Jesus daily makes us rooted, strong, and resilient.
We now begin to weather storms, not because we are strong, but because our Companion is…
Walking In and With Love
Walking with Jesus daily is not just for monks or mystics, it’s for people like you and me, students, adult, parents, and all.
We find escapism in endless gadget scrolling, excessive gaming, late-night bingeing, partying and for some even work.
But this kind of living is momentary and ends with a hollow feeling.
Walking with Jesus daily isn’t escapism, its eternal realism.
You don’t escape from life, you escape into truth, into peace, into the Lord’s presence, grace and beneficence.
