It was hard observing my quiet time when I began with God.
There were days I woke up and met with the time, there were days I couldn't.
And I was hell-bent on operating with the specific time I had chosen. I was taught to observe my Quiet time, because God will be waiting.
So whenever I miss it I wouldn't pray or study my bible for that day. I had kept God waiting and couldn't meet Him.
I would beat myself up.
But I kept ‘failing’. And it only led to days of prayerlessness, no Bible study, and trapped in more guilt.
But I had enough. One day I made up my mind, and told myself I don't care the time I wake up, I will pray and read the Bible.
I continued that way, some days I met my appointed time, other days I didn't.
But It was from that place of different timing, that I started waking up at my appointed time.
As Christians, babe or not, it is not easy to do God in today's society, especially when you are not a full time minister.
But we must do God.
I know you must have heard that you must have a specific time to meet with God- Quiet time.
That is not wrong. But, you don't have to stop communicating with God because you are not meeting up with the time.
Fellowship with your Father until you start meeting up with your time.
You may also have heard of having a specific place for prayers, a personal altar. That is important too. I have mine.
I carved out a part in my mother's sitting room, before I had my room. Carve out yours.
But the truth is you may not always be praying there.
There were days I woke up so late that I could only read my Bible, and rush out to avoid being late.
But I didn't just rush out, I rushed out with prayers on my lips. I introduced myself to prayer walks.
Yes, I pray while walking.
No, you don't have to shout. You can be praying in tongues under your breath, soft murmurings from your lips to God even as you journey.
That is how you navigate life and remain in fellowship with your Abba.
I hope this helps!
Me and God are dragging something.
No, I am the one going back and forth. It is a playful drag between father and child.
And today He points it out again.
“See? I know what you like.”
Ha! 🤣🤣 Jesus knows me better, even the things I am yet to discover I like.
It is not 12 am yet, happy Sunday.
Peace Tommy
