Thank you for sharing this morning Donna! Quiet time with the Lord is crucial for being rejuvenated, revived, restored, and refreshed in Him.
It's humbling and a blessing to know that God DESIRES to spend time with us!
I loved your post today!
I think it essential to our walk Robin!! Thanks Hun!!!!
I am going to take those fourteen minutes and ask God to show me whatever He wants too. Oh to be still and free from all the clutter and chaos of the day. I work from home and everyone thinks its a dream job-but to be honest somedays it feels like I don't ever leave the office. I have vowed for those fourteen minutes I am going to stretch myself outside of the box to find a place I can call ours – God & me time.
Absolutely Ann!! Find that space & time, you won't regret it!! and enjoy it when you do!
Donna this subject of carving out quiet time has at times been difficult for me and not because of distractions around me such as kids or husband (not that they are distractions but I'm sure you know what I mean) my kids are grown and out of the home and my husband is so low key and is never in my way. For the most I do have my quiet time but if I'm not careful I become in my way, I can become my own distraction. My quiet time is early in the morning just after I wake up. I prefer my quiet time first thing in the AM as it sets the "tone" for my day! I have my bible, study book, high lighter, note book and my glass of ice tea and I'm ready to meet with God! Thank you for the good word and reminder of setting aside that quiet time with our Father!
Good for you Lanette!! Keep up the good work and get out of your way!! LOL!!
Thank you so much for this. I'm out of. Relativity so I will read and learn from the comments. I just meet Him in the morning early. Start off watching Joyce Meyer then turn off tv and read the resolution book then my Bible. In my den seems to be my location. Thank you again girl. Great to have you here!!!
:))
I've tried all times of the day to have my quiet time with God & have decided that waking up earlier in the morning is the best time for me! It's not only quiet, but this time I spend with God helps me prepare for anything that might get thrown my way during the day. I set my mind with His and we conquer the day together!
You got it down Girl!!!
Thank you Donna for your post today. Having time with the Lord for me is challenging due to distractions of family morning business. So I must wake early while house is quiet/still. I read Proverbs and meditate on the verse that spoke to me and pray. I write my prayer in a journal and as Im writing the Lord speaks to me. Love my time with the Lord.
Me too Merol!!
Thanks Donna for your post!! I love stormy days and having that quite time too. If I have to set a timer so my family knows its my quite time, I am sure going to try. We run all day here and there….14 minutes really doesn't seem to hard to devote to just our Father and me time. <3 Thank you again!
You are welcome!!
thank you, donna…i so appreciate your straight talk in this oh-so-important matter. honestly, i do not know what i would do if i couldn't start my day alone w/the Lord. by God's grace, He got my heart about this over 15 years ago. at that time, my daughter was still at home AND my mom lived with us AND i had a job outside the home. i found i needed to get up before everyone else to carve out my 'God 'n me' time. as years went along, things have changed here. but i have found even now that i again have to restructure my day to ensure my devotional time. so —against my nature —i am now getting up @ 5am. but my heart is happy…and, i trust, i am pleasing my Father, too.
looking forward to your future blogs, donna! <3
God loves the time you make for Him, Just as He does for us anytime we call!! Keep it up Coleen!!
Great blog Donna! I had the hardest time finding and keeping a schedule of quiet time of reading. Now I have to say thank you to Tracy, she keeps me accountable by calling me every morning, I have her call me at 5 when hubby goes to work and I won't go back to sleep otherwise I would never get up but never take the time for my reading. Housework always came first! Now I get up when she calls I sit out on our front porch and do my daily bible reading on my kindle (and watch the birds, which I love doing)! I still haven't got a prayer time set though! I do my reading but don't throw prayer in there! I need to work on that now!!
You go Girl! you're on the right track!!
Wonderful blog Donna. I sat aside time in the evening because that works best for me right now at this time in my life. My husband usually has meetings or does yard work so I take time to do my readings and prayer time. I love my quiet time with my Lord and am so thankful that we have him to take all of cares too.
