Devotional: GROWING SPIRITUALLY | June 17, 2026
Written by Sunny Unachi on 17th June 2026
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. 2 Peter 3:18
Spiritual growth is a lifelong journey. Just as physical growth requires nourishment and exercise, spiritual maturity requires intentional investment in our relationship with God.
Growth does not happen automatically. It develops through prayer, studying God’s Word, worship, obedience, and fellowship with other believers. Over time, these disciplines strengthen our faith and shape our character.
There may be seasons when growth feels slow or progress seems invisible. However, God is continually at work within us. Every lesson learned, every challenge overcome, and every step of obedience contributes to our spiritual development.
Today, commit yourself to growing deeper in your relationship with Christ. Trust that God is faithfully transforming you into His image.
Prayer
Father, thank You for Your work in my life. Thank You for loving me enough not to leave me where I am but to continually shape me into the likeness of Christ.
Help me develop habits that strengthen my relationship with You. Give me a hunger for Your Word, a passion for prayer, and a desire to obey Your voice. Teach me to remain faithful even when growth feels slow.
Lord, continue Your transforming work within me. Remove attitudes and behaviors that do not honor You and produce the fruit of Your Spirit in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
