I have a confession to make.  I can’t believe I have allowed this to happen.  As you know, I’ve been talking about how busy I’ve been.  Well, I have allowed my busyness to keep me from spending my quiet time with the Lord each morning as I should.

I feel so miserable.  I hate when I know that Satan is getting the best of me.  How can I possibly not spend a long, quiet time with my Lord and Savior each morning?

I have resolved to get back on track and do my quiet time the very first thing each day before I get too “busy”.  Oh, I’ll brush my teeth and get a cup of coffee or tea before I begin, but I think God would prefer me to be at ease when I am with Him.

It is easy to get so busy that we don’t have “time” for the Lord.  This is one of Satan’s greatest ploys.  I remember when I was on staff at the church I would get so “busy” doing the Lord’s work that I didn’t have time for my own quiet time with Him.  It is crazy, I know.

When I spend time reading the Word and praying it just makes my day.  I begin the day filled with joy and peace.   I think the reason I’ve been so harried is that I haven’t stopped to let Him hold me and love on me.  That’s what He does when we spend quiet time with Him.  Nothing pleases Him more than for His children to sit at His feet and worship Him in prayer.

Find your quiet time

We all know the power of prayer.  I am praying that the Lord will help us all realize the importance of spending quality quiet time with Him each day.  I’m praying that He keeps Satan at bay and not let him get a stronghold on our lives.  To God be the glory!
