Put your nose into the Bible everyday. It is your spiritual food. And then share it. Make a vow not to be a lukewarm Christian.
I must secure more time for private devotions. I have been living far too public for me. The shortening of devotions starves the soul, it grows lean and faint. I have been keeping too late hours.
If you want to be holy then you must give time to God and not just intend to.
Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything.
I have to have a daily, vibrant relationship with Jesus in order to survive that process toward healing.
I have morning prayers and a nighttime reflection. I also read the Bible daily.
The time we spend in having our daily audience with God is the most precious part of the whole day.
The time of day when there was quiet and serenity was every night when we gathered in my parents' bedroom and knelt down together and prayed.
It is of immense importance for the understanding of the word of God, to read it in course, so that we may read every day a portion of the Old and a portion of the New Testament, going on where we previously left off.
Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.
I homeschool, so the start of the day is reading Bible scripture, memorization, and prayer.
Begin each day with private reading of the Word and prayer.
Your personal time with God is huge, your quiet time, your study, prayer, but being around other Christian followers... and the church just feeds you. You come away feeling rejuvenated, you get a great message.
The less we read the Word of God, the less we desire to read it, and the less we pray, the less we desire to pray.
Every Wednesday, my husband and I have a study group with our friends. I attend church. We try to devote time in the morning, say a prayer.
Sunday, I go to church; I take the day off. I rest.
I'm into scripture every day.

Each of our children during their high school years went to 'early morning seminary' - scripture study classes that met in the home of a church member every school day morning from 6:30 until 7:15.
If we are to be just like Jesus, we must have regular time of talking to God and listening to his Word.
The way to be with God in every season is to strive to be near Him every week and each day.
When you get a hankering to talk or complain about what you gave up for Lent, replace that hankering by speaking the word of God. For all the times you would have done the activity that you gave up for Lent, replace it by reading the word of God. Christians should always be drawing closer to God.
I do devotion in the morning. I pray and I read the word.
In the morning when I rise give me Jesus.
So many people grew up in the church, and you can have an awesome upbringing, but I made a personal conviction; I made a personal decision when I was very young. I enjoy going to church without my parents. On Sunday mornings, I want to go. Bible studies on Wednesdays... I have a relationship - not just through my parents.
