The Fourth Query: Personal Spiritual Life Do you make time for meditation, prayer, and worship? Do you read the Bible, the writings of Friends, and other inspirational works, seeking new light? Do you regularly seek God's guidance? Are you open to guidance and support, and do you give thanks for them? Do you share your spiritual insights with others and willingly receive from them in return?
