Take your time: be quiet and chill with God "quiet time" sounds like we would be in our coffin under the ground and rest in peace. It is called "quiet time" is not equal quiet and desolate. There is a lot more of "silent". Hunger and thirst that God can satisfy. If you take in up to him.
Many people find their daily "quiet time", her daily Bible reading and / or its By-God-talk is not so great. "Because I do not experience", "that's too dry ..." you can hear quite often. Then I ask myself, what we do wrong? We talk with the God of the universe, the Creator of all life and - and this is the wichtigstens - our very personal God the Father! If we had to stand there not snake! I believe that we approach often very wrong with the thing.
God concentrates. friends of mine who led me to believe, read the morning, every morning - how do they do that? - An excerpt from the Bible. This is their very own energy food for breakfast. Already filling up in the morning and start full power in the new day. Together with God.
I also know the story, as a girl experienced an incredibly difficult time. You should really go under, humanly. With so many misfortunes have long been depressed ... But she considers herself bravely, by and keeps holding on to the Bible. She says: "If I had not learned to talk daily with God and to equip myself for the new day would be lost I am." Regularities help to ensure that we stay tuned to the faith. And it is also important: faith is not just a matter of thinking and good sense, as he invites you to action. This includes exercises and regularities.
be together with God. This is my favorite point. Have you ever been together right with God? Did you see him ever directly felt so with skin and hair? I do not tell big of supernatural things - it is with God but also - but to simply from the grand feeling of being protected by God and loved. When I unpacked this certainty, I feel goose bumps and tingling all over my body that I wanted to feel like to never go back.
We're used to that we need to get things over and fast something. The "quick fulfillment of the consumer society" can be called that. You need to feel good and should not be boring. In the "quiet time", this only plays a minor role. It's about me and God and the practice, it be close to. Through conversations, songs, silence and the Bible. It is mistaken, if I can just lay on my bed, stretch out your feet and tell God of my life. Almighty God! If you but the times before! And although I do not hear the same distinctive voice, a pulse that I answered all the big questions of humanity, I know that God hears me. Twice: once because I feel certain that my prayer does not stick to the ceiling. And twice, while I do not pray, what I lack completely. I do not have time with God, the fulfillment I find in it. In the long run, not only hush hush. This makes the relationship with God, under the We live simply total.
find your own style. Without regularity things are usually moderate. We humans are creatures of habit, unfortunately. Therefore, it is important that you find a way where you can find a good line to God. Everyone has a different approach as he adjusts to talking to God and reading the Bible, everyone does it at different times and in different moods. Is important to you to find your own way. You can, of course, you get tips from experienced intercessors and lactation learning. I sit me as I said on my bed, listen to songs or play a few yourself, write down thoughts or pray and easily. Ever after.
with renewed vigor. You will quickly notice how difficult but wonderful at the same time it is to often sit down and talk with God. You will fill up, you feel stronger inside. And after a few months you will not be able to stop - promise! :)
Finally, another music tip to set the mood: http://youtu.be/C-lY8VQpSTY
