“Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.” Proverbs 8:34
The 21 Days of Prayer is over… but it’s not over.
Give God Your Best Time Each Day
God promises to bless your life when you spend time with him each day.
This means setting aside time every day to meet with God—what is often called a quiet time. It could be five, 10, or 15 minutes where you focus on being with God.
Find a quiet place, sit still, and ask, “God, is there anything you want to say to me?” Talk to him about the worries on your mind and the things that weigh on your heart. Spend a few moments reading the Bible and let him speak to you through his Word. Be still, listen for His guidance, and prepare for the day ahead.
For most people, mornings are the best time for this. When you wake up, make God the first person you talk to. But if mornings don’t work for you, find a time that does. If you’re not fully awake in the morning, don’t force it. Choose a time when you’re at your best—whether that’s at night, during a lunch break, or another quiet moment in your day. The key is consistency. Set a daily appointment with God.
Every person who has experienced God’s richest blessings—has made it a habit to spend time with Him each day. It doesn’t need to take long; the important thing is to check in with God.
Psalm 31:19 reminds us: “How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world” (NLT).
When you give God the first part of your life—your time—He blesses you in ways that overflow into every area of your life.
Think It Over
- What practical steps can you take to create a consistent habit of spending daily quiet time with God?
- How do you think dedicating part of your day to God will impact the way you approach the rest of your day? Why is consistency more important than the length of time?
- What specific blessings have you experienced or can you anticipate by prioritizing time with God each day?
