Day with God

In my walk with God, I have been busy. But taking a day to commune with God is incredible. The focus and the direction I feel is amazing. If you haven't read, I spent a day with God yesterday. I want undisturbed, undistracted time to hear God speak to me. It was a spiritual experience.

In our busy lives, everyone is busy. Each one of us could use our own administrative assistants. Well, almost. I juggle responsibilities, tasks, appointments, etc. Sometimes it all drives me crazy. I find that being too busy deteriorates my health and damages my relationships. So where does God fit in when I am so busy with life and ministry--even busy with good things. I challenged our students to take five minutes to be silent and to listen to God. I decided to take more than that.

God did not design you and I to be pushed to the limit! It's a challenge everyone faces for their whole life. The great thing is to experience taking control of your schedule and reset positive patterns for your life that can tremendously impact your everyday life. I wanted to give some time over to God. As busy as anyone of us can be, it only feels like life gets busier, so I wanted to take time to be with God.

I used the following helps to direct my day. Clink on the link http://ctlibrary.com/2900 from the Christianity Today Library online. I was also glad to discover the detailed article on how to spend a day for prayer by Lorne C.

I did hear from God. I'll share more about my experience later. I wonder if you've taken the five minute challenge to hear from God. Tell me your experience.
