Daily discipleship is about consistently living out your faith and growing closer to God through simple, practical steps. It starts with setting aside time each day to pray and talk to God, thanking Him for your blessings and asking for guidance. Reading and reflecting on Scripture helps you learn more about God’s character and how His teachings apply to your daily life. As you read your Bible, the Holy Spirit may convict you about a change you need to make in your life. Pray and act on that prompting!^{[32]https://www.instepwithjesus.org/closerwalk4-07a}CWe 30.2

Discipleship also means putting your faith into action - showing kindness, forgiving others, and serving those in need. Pray for holy boldness to share your faith with others, through your words, and more importantly through your actions. Daily discipleship isn’t complicated or tasking - it’s about following the Spirit’s prompting in every choice of your life; He will equip you to do what He asks.^{[33]2 Corinthians 9:8 ERV — “And God can give you more blessings than you need, and you will always have plenty of everything. You will have enough to give to every good work.”}CWe 30.3
