Glorifying God in everything we do

In the spiritual life, it is not just an annual retreat; this is a daily practice. This is something that we need to pay attention to continuously to enhance the quality of our being so that our work can truly be a way of glorifying God in everything we do. If our prayer becomes his prayer, then our work becomes his work. We all have an ego, and that ego can be a servant or a tyrant. Your ego can master you, especially when you are under attack, or you feel insecure or you are at a difficult moment in your life, you have a transition in your life. Your ego can become agitated, fearful, frightened, or full of desire. So the ego needs to be continuously controlled. The ego has to be a servant allowing us to do this work of God with as little self-interest or self-centredness, as little me as possible within it.
