In his excellent book Culture Making, Andy Crouch gives some practical advice of how to live out our faith in the daily grind:

The disciplines specific to our vocation are equally opportunities for cultivating that kind of dependence. As a musician I can allow the daily practising of scales and vocalizations to become opportunities for prayer. As a writer I can take the daily difficulty of sitting down before a blank page as an opportunity to acknowledge my complete dependence on God, not just for the fruit but for the seed as well. As a producer I can see the dogged pursuit of potential funding sources and the tedium of hours in the editing suite as practice in patience and trust. Of course, it is equally possible for any of these to become means fo striving self-justification. Perhaps on most days we will face the empty page with fear, or we procrastinate so we don't have to face it at all; we will breeze through perfunctory and substandard imitations of the rudiments of our instrument; we will avoid the hard phone call and postpone the tedious work of cultivation. Even then the disciplines can school us in just how wayward our hearts tend to be, humbling us further by exposing the fear and pride that makes us so easily distracted and of so little lasting use. There may be no greater value to the disciplines than to regularly bring us to these moments of disillusionment with ourselves. Grace if for the poor in spirit, and the disciplines bring us, no matter our ascribed power or actual wealth, to keen awareness of our fundamental poverty.
