Believe Me ~ A Daily Quiet Time With God Will Encourage You!Are you having quiet time with God each day? NeedEncouragement.com

Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.

My quiet time with God is an extraordinary treasure that I hold close to my heart. It is in these precious moments that I feel an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility, knowing that I am communing with the Lord. God has graciously made it effortlessly delightful for me to yearn for His presence every single day. Are you currently embracing this quality of quiet time with our Heavenly Father? If not, let today be the start of something beautiful – a journey into a closer relationship with God.

It is just like how we keep in touch with dear friends, having a quiet time each morning becomes our lifeline, forging and fortifying a bond that words alone cannot express. Without communication, relationships stagnate; they struggle to blossom and flourish. Hence, I wholeheartedly encourage you to embark on this marvelous adventure by starting your day with Jesus himself as your divine companion – it will undoubtedly infuse balance and guidance into every aspect of your life. ~ Bill Greguska

Psalm 23:2  He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters.

 

 


What Are Some Benefits Of Having A Quiet Time?


 

Quiet Time…

I have found great value in having a quiet time and putting it all together (reading, meditating, journaling, and praying). It’s called having a daily quiet time where you consistently practice all those things. The amount of time needed for a quality quiet time can vary.
I believe 30 minutes is what it takes for me to find a scripture in my concordance that is on my heart and mind to start my day or what event happened the day before in general. (this way of reading makes it more applicable to my life) rather than reading something that someone wrote.
  1. After I find the exact scripture from the concordance that I want to study, I find it in the Bible and read the entire chapter, whatever book in the Bible you decide.
  2. After reading the whole chapter, which only takes a few minutes, I write down the specific scripture in my notebook. I write my thoughts and how they pertain to my life concerning the scripture I chose in approximately one or two paragraphs.
  3. Then, below that, I usually write 5-9 prayer requests for the day, praying for family, friends, others, and myself.
  4. After that, I use my highlighter and highlight anything I want to stand out in my memory.
  5. Then I pray out loud those prayers I just wrote down.
  6. To end my quiet time, I go over the Bible memory verses that I have, and I find that having too many to memorize is not a good idea. A comfortable number of scriptures between 5-10 would be a good number.

How Long Should A Quiet Time Take Me?

Doing all of this takes me between 30 to 45 minutes. (even if you start taking 5 minutes, I am sure if you are anything like me, the amount of time will increase). Consistency is very valuable. You may want to customize your quiet time to fit your needs. But whatever you decide to do, do it unto the Lord, our Savior. Keep your eye on the goal or purpose of these activities: to know God, understand how God wishes you to live (his will for you), and be in an intimate relationship with Him. But at the same time, you must carve out time and make it a priority.

Pick a consistent time and place to have a daily quiet time. By picking a constant time and place, you can more easily say “NO!” to other requests for your time or attention. You already have an appointment with God during that time. In your prayers, ask God to guard this time. Distractions and competing agendas will happen. You will need God’s help to protect your time together.
