I’ll be the very first to admit that, while I do love attending church when I get there but I’m not always a fan of the task of getting my entire family out on Sunday morning. There are plenty of weekends when I’d rather curl in bed with my favorite book or binge-watching my most recent Netflix addiction.
I’m not sure what is that makes getting out of the door on a Sunday seem so much more difficult. It could be that, the routine of our week is fairly planned, our weekend routine is much more laid-back. This is our time to relax and relax, not ever having to be doing anything. Maybe it’s because I’m trying to look good and ensure my daughters look their best and that sometimes takes an extra effort and time which I’m not always like doing.
We’re probably not the only family who has difficulty getting to church every now and then.
In the case of many households, arranging and arranging for church in the midst of an already busy week can be a challenge for itself. If you attend on Sunday evenings, Saturday mornings, or even on after-school hours on weekdays it can be difficult to give up what we consider to be “free” time, especially when it clashes with other activities that we desire to accomplish.
Over the years one thing I’ve learned is that when I come to the point that I feel like I can’t find time to go to church, it’s an indication of trying too much. And that typically means I need to review my schedule and find some balance, since at the end of every day I’ve regretted making the effort to go to the church. There’s something about attending church that helps me calm down and makes me feel more connected and whole, and helps me breathe.
It’s more than me according to reports. Research has shown that those who attend church regularly report more social networks that support them and lower levels of depression. They also smoke less and lead longer and healthier lives. In a real and physical sense, church is a great way to improve your overall health.
So even if you’ve been away for some time, this could be the perfect moment to revisit or find an alternative church that is a good fit for you and your family. A place where you connect with the people who are around you, make wonderful friends, and experience an incredibly warm and welcoming feeling of belonging.
The Surprising Benefits of Going to Church: 10 Reasons Why You Should Go
If you’re not convinced to take the plunge? Here are some more interesting benefits to attending the church:
Church Connects Us to God
There is something sacred about being in the church. It is the opportunity to be physically connected and be nearer to God and to recognize the existence of something that is bigger than us.
In addition, when we enter a place that is a place of worship, we’re immediately transported to a place that we’re in a state of surrender before God as we try to comprehend the message, he’s sending us. Just getting in will bring you closer. In the end, this connection to God will be strengthened and strengthened through church attendance. We’re taking time for God and physically inviting him to enter our lives through going to a church.
Church Gives Us a Chance to Reflect on Gratitude
Through practicing gratefulness, you can transform challenging or difficult situations into opportunities to learn from them. It helps us realize the abundance of our lives and how much we have. Even when it seems like everything is bleak and bleak (say that your husband has lost his job, or your child is suffering from illness, or your loved one dies) Church can help us shift our mindset and not dwell on irrelevant questions such as, “Why is this happening to me?”
The church can help us appreciate what we already have even when we are feeling lost. For instance, we could be able to access modern medical treatment for our child who is sick or a community of people to help us and our spouse through an employment search or the memories and lessons that we treasure from our relationship with our beloved ones and the possibility of meeting our loved ones in Heaven. Although it can be difficult to appreciate the blessings of life at the moment, going to the church can allow us to look in the right direction and to see the good things we are blessed with.
Church Connects Us Socially
Another benefit that is not as obvious from attending church is that it helps us connect with others. This is particularly true when you recently moved to a new city or perhaps an area that you have never been to. In general, the church community is generally quite welcoming, and many churches have plenty of social gatherings and groups, clubs, and connections available every week. If you’re struggling to connect with people or make new acquaintances you can find the right spot to make it happen!
Church Helps Us Connect with our spouse
It is not always the case that everyone is in the same boat as the other spouse in matters of religion. Couples that attend the same church experience more happiness and satisfaction in their relationship. What is the reason? Church helps us reconnect with the same convictions. It bolsters the deeper concept and the purpose of the family unit and marriage. It also provides us with a safe place to bond and connect with God together.
Couples who go to church together take the time to reaffirm the crucial fundamentals for their union. When you were married you made vows to cherish and be supportive of one another. When you meet with God in church on Sundays you’re reminded of your vow and your bond is strengthened.
Church Allows Us to Feel Reverence
In the midst of the chaos of the day life, do you yearn for peace, tranquility and reverence? If we go to worship services, we’re transported into an area where we can worship and be at tranquility. I am always amazed by the tranquility that comes over me as soon as I enter the church. It’s a sanctuary of peace and happiness.
Church attendance will help us revisit this sacred state of mind regularly. It provides us with a place to reflect on our prayers and also to be humble and grateful. It makes us feel calm and peaceful and provides us a break from the hum of our life.
Church Provides Plenty of Opportunities to Give Back
The majority of Christian churches have some kind of assistance and charity to their communities as well as others in need throughout the globe. As a result of our faith, we’ve had the opportunity to assist and visit communities all over the world and locally, in various ways.
Church members have the chance to contribute our time and funds to causes that we believe in. We are also able to help by joining organizations with the same beliefs and wish to share God’s grace and love to those who are in need. We’re blessed to lead happy lives, with plenty of possibility, security and freedom. A lot of people in the world suffer from hardship and in poverty. thanks to God’s grace, our hope is able to offer comfort and assistance.
Church Helps Us “Find the Lesson” in our Trials
A close friend of mine recently struggled due to the fact that, try whatever she could she tried, her and her husband were unable to reach a stable financial footing. It made her feel terribly sad having to work full time when she was aching to be at home with her child. She declared, “I’m having such a hard time figuring out what I’m supposed to learn from this experience.”
It’s a common response It’s not it? We all would like to know the reasons why things don’t always work according to the way we imagined.
However, I’m not able to remember the number of times that I’ve found myself having difficulty in a specific subject and discovered an article or sermon relates directly to my circumstances that it was as if the pastor was speaking direct to me. Church can help to “get it,” whether we’re ready or not.
Church Teaches Us Forgiveness
It isn’t easy for us to release frustrations, disappointments and frustrations. Perhaps a friend has disappointed us and our kids are uncontrollable lately, or perhaps our spouse has done or said hurtful things. Forgiveness is among the most difficult to master. to master and yet, when we you finally are in a position to forgive it will take an enormous burden off our shoulders.
There’s no better way to remember the forgiveness gift we’ve already received than going to church. Our hearts may become more supple during the process.
We are filled with joy when we sing at church. With Songs
There’s something mysterious about musical. Hearing hymns or worship music can lift us up and provide us with messages that we might not be able to hear. It’s incredible how wide our hearts are when we sing music, and sometimes even the burden that we carry around can get taken off our shoulders the when the first song starts playing.
Music can make us are more spiritually connected since songs are a way to connect with God. It is possible to experience joy and joy by listening to music that has an inspiring message and then keeping that song in our hearts for the entire week.
Church is Where We Find Deeper Meaning in our Lives
In my most tense and stressed-out situations, I’m often thinking, “What’s the point?” If we’re feeling depressed or sadness, anger, and anxiety, it’s easy to forget about the larger plan and purpose available to everyone. You may even feel isolated and unconnected to God and other people.
When we attend church, we are given a sense of purpose and purpose. We are able to see the story of the journey that has brought us to where we are today and also the hope of the future, even after this world. Church allows us to revisit the bigger story of life, and also the motivations to remain committed and hold onto the faith.
