Sometimes your season in life can limit time spent with God. I am in such a season, and find myself instead leading my thoughts towards memorized scripture and meditating on who God is. I also put praise and worship music on and sing along (even though I am not a musically gifted singer). My 1 year old daughter sings along in her way and can make a more pleasant noise than I can. Which leads me to remember my Abba Father (Dad) delights in having a relationship with me much in the same way. I definitely want more extended times, but this is not a season that allows for as much deep study time. Take heart if you find yourself in a similar season and keep pressing on

they say it is best to eat at 10:00 ,2:00, and 4:00 due to us lacking energy the most during those times. and I felt as if God has called me to pray and read scripture at those times because who is better to take care of my needs then him? this is something I've been trying to do the last few days and I find that I'm so much more energetic for work even if I skip a meal or two. Jesus our king provides in times of need even when it is something as simple as having the energy to go to work and to not be tired while on my way back home. I work from 4pm to 12:30pm at night sometimes i get back late at 1:30 in the morning so I like to fellowship with God at 10am ,2pm and 4pm but then I try to go another round and fellowship again at 10pm, 2am, and 4am. it alot of my time and it is alot of sacrificing time and sometimes sleep but I find that still God provides me the energy the most when I follow this schedule. any way thought I'd share with all of you and I pray God bless all of you in a special way , love you all take care š

I also find that I need my time with our Lord. Mornings and night. Cutting off social media and only having this app to look to as well as His word all through the day has been huge in my walk with Him lately. As stated in another post, I have also learned that alcohol has clouded my path for so long, and He has helped me in acknowledging that. If I go down that route my mind goes to thoughts and negatives that are not my burdens to hold to anymore. My focus is the Lord, my kids and His will! Have a great day everyone! <

I also agree. If I donāt spend time daily with God, about an hour each morning, reading His Word and praying I find myself quickly in discouragement and self pity

Jesus said his yoke is easy and his burden is light. I am in agreement with Ashley and Boyce. We all need to rest in/with God daily.

For me, one day a week in reflection and gratitude is not enough. I must give God an hour or so every morning. I must fill my cup each morning, knowing the World will drain me each day, and rightfully so. We are called to pour ourselves out to others each day, to do the best work we possibly can each day, and how am I to do that if my cup is only half full from yesterday? God has removed my obsession with alcohol and other things, and Iāve learned this is a daily reprieve. If I donāt make a conscious decision each morning to turn my will and life over to the care of Jesus, Iāll drink again one day soon. Life is so much easier and beautiful with Him in charge, not me.

Let us spend our day with You praising and worshiping You. In our hearts, in our minds, in our souls, Love you Jesus!

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. ~ God Exodus 20:8
God knows us pretty well. We can become so self-involved that we skip the down time, or worse... skip time with Him.
God made a day of rest for you and me. It's our time to slow down, find renewal, and reflect on everything God is to us and all He has done for us.
Don't forget to take the day God gave you to rest, relax, and remember God's grace. It's a gift of joy and happiness - be grateful.
