Any Christian. What do you do in your "quiet time" and how long is it?

Question

I wasn't expecting this many people to answer my question. Thanks for your answers and keep on answering. By the way, remember to pray for whoever asked for prayers.

Answer 1

I ask for God's help in understanding what I am about to read. I then read my bible passage connected with the devotional booklet that I use which is Daily Bread Notes. It is put out by Radio Bible College in Grand Rapids Mich. I read the story that goes with the passage and then I write in my prayer journal. Asking for God's help with things in my life, thanking Him for the many blessings he has given me and If others have asked me to pray for them ask for His help. Depending on the day it can take me between fifteen minutes to a half an hour.

Answer 2

Any Christian is a born returned Christian. Jesus mentioned "Ye could desire to be born returned." there is not any such element as a non born returned Chrisian or a born returned non Christian. a huge style of folk have faith that Jimmy Carter first used the term yet Jesus replaced into the 1st guy or woman to declare you're able to desire to be born returned, (John 3:7) and that i've got faith specific that it have been utilized by capacity of others long before Jimmy Carter. It particularly doen't remember however because of the fact while you at the instant are not a born returned Christian you're particularly no longer a Christian in any respect. it is not non-compulsory."hence if any guy be in Christ, he's a clean creature; old issues are surpassed directly to the great beyond; behold all issues are grow to be new" (2 Corinthians 5:17) If ones existence has no longer been switched over and that they are living the comparable as before yet "have faith" in Christ, there has been no transformation and that they are not born returned. whilst Jesus Christ is composed of stay interior a guy or woman, the failings that they love will substitute and the failings that they hate will substitute. What Jesus cared approximately will grow to be what they care approximately. those are purely some examples of what occurs once you grow to be born returned.i realize it particularly is an exceptionally unpopular doctrine right this moment yet remains the actuality none the fewer. God bless!!

Answer 3

As a college student who's also working two different jobs, I don't have as much quiet time as I'd like. But I do manage, and in those times, sometimes I'll go for a walk, or drive out to the country. Other times, I'll pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, the rosary, the prayer of St. Gertrude, or some other meditative prayer. Or I spend some time with my dogs, who always make me happy, and who I see as gifts from God. At night, I just like being quiet and looking up at the night sky, and especially enjoy watching meteor showers when they come around.

Answer 4

I go into my private room and after shutting the door, I like to start off by praying to God, the Father, or Jehovah (whatever is comfortable for me at the time to refer to Him by). I talk to Him by sharing my fears, doubts, and asking Him any question that may have come up during the day. I read a passage from the Bible and I meditate on it. This usually last for about an hour. I do it twice a day; in the morning and in the evening. It helps me start and complete my day knowing that I placed Him first before anything else.

Answer 5

I am a Baha'i, so not a Christian in the normal sense. I read the Word of God (Usually the Kitab-i-Iqan, sometimes the Bible or the Qur'an, I want to read the Bhagavad Gita) and I pray, and I meditate. I recite an obligatory prayer, and the lord's prayer, and a certain personal type of prayer, i recite Allah'u'abha 95 times in prayerful meditation, and I ask Jesus Christ and Baha'u'llah for guidance.

Answer 6

I meditate. It can take anywhere from 2 seconds to 20 minutes. I get quiet and imagine a scenery like a beach or the mountains.

I also pray to God. Little times through out the day. Like on walks. I just share a feeling here and there. It brings me closer to God and I feel happier.

Answer 7

I need more quiet time, I haven't been getting a lot of it lately. It's either work or school and when I come home, I'm too tired to do anything. It's been three months since the last time I ever opened the book, please pray for me.

Answer 8

I do not really get much "quiet time" but it usually involves study, prayer, meditation, prayer, study, prayer, meditation, prayer, and so on. It lasts as long as He wants it to last. Sometimes a couple of minutes. Sometimes hours. It all depends on Him and my willingness to listen.

Answer 9

I pray first most, asking God to reveal sins in my life, and asking for his strength to overcome them. Then I'll praise him, thank him, and ask him for needs for others, and me.

Then I open his word, and read a small amount of scripture, meditate on the verses that jump out at me, and ask God how they will apply to my life.

Answer 10

I pray, I praise and I study. The only ones that are scheduled are the ones in the morning and at night.
