Do you know that you can seek God more effectively in quiet times? My relationship with God has flourished most when I hush all the noise around me and get quiet with him.
We can hear the still, small voice of God better in the quiet. The Bible tells us the value of quiet time, and Jesus himself sought a quiet time with his Father regularly. As difficult as it can be to carve out quiet time with God, it’s essential for growing our faith and cultivating a peaceful heart.
Today at Woman 2 Woman Ministries, I share why quiet time is essential and how you can seek a deeper relationship with God when you quiet your noisy life. Here’s a peek at my post, and I hope you’ll head over to read the rest.
Why Quiet Time is Essential
A time to be quiet and a time to speak.
Ecclesiastes 3:7 NLT
What a noisy, rushed, busy culture we all live in today. It’s hard to sort out the many messages we receive, and it’s difficult to feel heard among the masses.
I have a very difficult time keeping up with emails and texts, maintaining connections with friends, and carving out time to visit extended family.
I’m not the model to follow, to be sure. But I know a time to be quiet is an essential counterbalance to all the hustle.
My quiet time is in the morning, before anyone else is up. I get up before 5:00 a.m. and sip my hot tea while I read my Bible. I treasure this quiet, uninterrupted time to commune with God before my busy day begins…
