Bible Reading: Psalms 37:7, 46:10, 62:5
Memory Verse: Only God gives inward peace, and I depend on him. Psalm 62:5 (CEV)
The importance of Quiet time further includes:
4) A Source of Encouragement: We all need encouragement, especially when life is hard. God’s Word is the perfect source of encouragement for us in our walk with Christ. The Bible tells us that we are loved, forgiven, and that we have a hope and a future. It reminds us of who we are in Christ and who we are called to be. It challenges us to grow and to change. And it gives us the strength to keep going every single day, even when times are tough. Even if your quiet time consists of just reciting the Lord’s Prayer and reading a single Bible verse, you will be encouraged in your walk with Christ. That’s the power of quiet time with God!
5) Hear God’s Voice: Scripture tells us that we need to be still in order to hear from God (Psalms 37:7, 46:10, 62:5). In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it can be difficult to find time to just be still. However, setting aside dedicated time with God is essential if we want to grow in our relationship with God. Through our connection with God, we are able to receive guidance, strength, and peace. Quiet time with God allows us to establish and to maintain that vital connection. In the silence, we can hear God’s voice speaking to our hearts. As we meditate on God’s Word, He speaks to us and reveal Himself to us in new ways. During our quiet time, we can pour out our hearts to God and receive God’s love in return. How might God guide you or comfort you, if you only give Him a chance?
6) Offer Praise and Gratitude to God: When we take time to be still and listen to God’s voice, we will find that God has so much to say to us. God’s love for us knows no bounds, and He longs to draw us closer to Him. During your quiet time, take a moment to worship God for who He is. Then thank God for what He has done. Remember the ACTS prayer method? ACTS is an acronym for: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. You start by adoring (praising, worshipping) God. Before you ask God for anything, you thank God for His blessings. Quiet time is an opportunity to offer praise and gratitude to God. These actions will also align your mind, heart, and soul to recognise God’s goodness throughout your day.
