Did you know...

Quiet time, devotions, prayer time... whatever you want to call it, is not a religious formula.

Your time alone with God should be as unique as your fingertips. You may incorporate the same elements as I do- prayer, meditation, Bible reading, and personal solitude. But that's really where the similarities end.

Much like a romantic relationship, there are elements that everyone of us enjoy in romance. But how we interact with the one we love is very unique. Each couple has a special love language and enjoy very different experiences than others. View time with God the same way!

Maybe you prefer to walk outside in the wood (like I do). You feel most connected with God out in nature.

OR you get excited reading books (any book), and can see God in everything you read.

OR when you are serving or giving, that's the highlight of your experience with God. God speaks to you most when you're giving to others.

OR you feel strengthened and encouraged when you pray and talk about God with someone else. It's not that you can't pray alone, you just feel more deeply connected to God when you're journeying together with someone else.

I could go on. The point, whatever pathways fit your personality best, veer into that sacred pathway more often so that you are connecting with God in your personal and unique way.
