HOW TO ORGANIZE AN EFFECTIVE QUIET TIME WITH GOD

HOW TO ORGANIZE AN EFFECTIVE QUIET TIME WITH GOD

• Choose a specific place where you won't be interrupted (Luke 22:39).
• Set aside a certain period of the day, one that suits you, keeping in mind that God deserves our best, not our leftovers (Daniel 6:10).
• Start with 15 to 20 minutes a day, and extend it as you grow in your relationship with God.
• Keep a balance between reading the bible and praying, remember that reading the bible grows your relationship with God while prayers are your conversation with him daily

• Seek all opportunities to implement all that you have learned or prayed about (James 2:17).

          The time we spend with God in quiet communion is the best investment we can make in our spiritual health. Moses grew so close to God in his quiet times that he became known as the one who speaks with God as a "friend", Jesus gained the strength he needed to face the cross.We also will find strength, wisdom, & an abundance of love when we take the time to get alone with God. Remember, his heart's desire is to be with us too!
