Quiet time with God is not a to-do list item. But with the pressure that you put on yourself — it can feel like it. These unrealistic self expectations are enough to make you want to give up.
Deepening your relationship with God does not require perfection. The whole point of quiet time is to get to know God. Like a friend. You wouldn’t say to your friend … “Oh, We haven’t spoken in two weeks so I guess we are not friends any more.” No! You’re still friends and you still want to nurture that friendship.
Same thing is true with with God. It’s not an all or nothing relationship.
Let’s chat today about ditching the perfect quiet time and dive deep into practical ways to sneak in some time, what to do during that time, and the truth behind what the perfect quiet time with God really looks like.
