Like any practice or habit, picking up new spiritual practices can be difficult. They are appropriately called practices because learning to use them is a lifelong journey. Many of us grew up with some sort of spiritual practice at home, and many of us lost them over time. My family prayed before dinner every day when I was a little kid, but as we got older and life got busier, we weren't always eating together as a family and the practice died out. This was the extent of my spiritual practices at home growing up. So I had to learn a few later in life, too.
