With all of life's distractions, sometimes it's hard to hear God's voice and know what He wants you to do.  Take a few minutes now to be alone with God without the television or stereo blaring.  Find a quiet place to sit with your Bible and be still before Him.  The Lord is anxious to be with you and wants to spend this time with you, more than you do!  God's heart holds a special place for you and is excited about your friendship with him.
Don't listen to the lies of the Devil who says, God is angry because you haven't read your Bible lately.  The Devil wants you to be confused about what direction in life you should take.  He hopes by keeping you from spending time with God, you will eventually throw in the towel and give up on life.  The Bible says in John 8:44, ...for he is a liar and the father of lies, so don't believe him!

Make a commitment now to have a quiet time each day.  Fill in the space below what time you plan to spend with God each day.


I will have my quiet time at ___________________ each day.

 

As You Begin Your Quiet Time:       

1.  Ask the Lord to reveal anything that may be standing in the way of you hearing His voice.  Do you have any sins or grudges you are holding onto?  Ask for forgiveness now.

2.  Close your eyes, and try to concentrate on Jesus.  Praise Him and lift Him up.

3.  Take authority over the enemy from any activity during this time with God.  The Devil would love to keep you from hearing God speak, so don't neglect doing this.

4.  Thank God for being here with you.

5.  Commit this time to the Lord.  Sit quietly and wait for Him to speak.

6.  Have your Bible on hand, in case God places a scripture on your heart.  Look up any verses that may come to mind.  He may be speaking to you! 

7.  Use a notebook for taking notes during this time.
