Quiet Time

We all have busy lives, I can state that as a fact! Whether it's work, school or just general day to day jobs and responsibilities. When we go for a long time without taking a break we can stress very easily, and stress can lead to feeling down or angry. So when are people supposed to find time to have some quiet time? Well I suggest making time, I'm sure everyone has at least 10minutes free out of their whole day, so use it! During your quiet time there are so many things you can do. You can reflect on your day if your quiet time is at the end of the day, you can write in your journal to God, you could read a passage of the bible and reflect on it or you can pray. During quiet time, you don't necessarily have to sit in complete silence, you could listen to some christian music, it might inspire you! I also think that sometimes it is good to just sit in silence because we might be listening more carefully for God. I don't find it easy finding time everyday but I do try and write in my journal or read the bible or a chapter of a christian book. I find it so relaxing and am in such a better mood because of it. Even this evening I went down to watch T.V. and after a while I got really tired and just felt like sleeping but I really wanted to write here and pray, so after this I'm going to have my quiet time.
God wants you to talk to him, he really does so do it! My leader in Discipleship group read us a little extract from a daily reading book. It talked about how we spend so much time on Facebook or texting or on other social networking sites but yet some of us can't make time for God. We were thinking about if God had Facebook what would you say to him? What would you write on his wall? Would you post pictures of you and your friends at youth club? I thought it would be amazing.. I don't really know what I'd say, I would be so happy but shocked. Because we all go on Facebook to keep in touch and to find out about other people, don't we? So why don't we do the same with God? It isn't that we can't it's that we don't. Prayer is like texting God, so try it.
God is always with you and texting you and if you ring him you will never be put on hold or not get an answer!

Matthew 7:7-8 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

1 Corinthians 14:15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind
