Scripture: Psalm 116: 1 - 2
Do you have a quiet time alone with God or do you start your day doing all your errands?
Talking and having a quiet time with God is very important for it is through prayer & His word that we open a means of communication to Him.
From guidance to knowledge, and all the fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5: 22 - 23) -- we can only receive them if we have a communication with Him.
As an individual, living in a fast-paced world, we tend to do what we just need to finish for that day forgetting to spare time on what is really important -- a time for God. We should consider that it is the most important relationship in our life and if we don't make time for Him we probably not making the best choices in our lives.
We are so blessed for in John 1:12 and Galatians 3:26; "Our God greatly desires to spend time with us." -- Our Father wants us to know Him and He want to know us deeply. (Can you imagine how big is this opportunity He gave us? Grab it now.)
MAKE IT A PRIORITY! We can always have time with Him in any place, in any time but it takes a willing heart to have a right time with Him.
WE SHOULD HAVE A CONSTANT MEETING WITH GOD IN EACH AND EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES!
It is clear that God is really interested in us -- His children. (1 Peter 5: 7)
HOW TO PRAY?
Just look at how blessed we are for we don't need to make an appointment to talk to our God! Talk to Him like He is your parents, a friend who wants to help you, who loves you dearly, and desires the best for you!
And always remember that HE IS INTERESTED IN EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU!
