Oh LORD, in the morning You will hear my voice; in the morning I will present myself before You and wait.
(Psalm 5:3)
God invites us every day to spend time with Him and listen to His voice. With the busyness of life, we often don’t take the time to seek that special moment with the Lord. But just as we need food for our bodies, our souls also need spiritual nourishment to face the daily battles.
Taking a moment to talk with God is a practice that strengthens our faith. The Lord wants us to trust in Him, even when storms arise. When we stop and come into His presence, we are reminded that we are not alone, and He is powerful enough to guide us and care for every detail.
The best way to begin a time with God is through a simple prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to speak to our hearts. When we open the Bible, we can read a verse or passage that helps us reflect on it. It may be something we need to hear in our lives at that moment. God speaks to us through His Word, and when we seek understanding, He gives us wisdom.
In addition to reading and praying, we can also give our fears, worries, and dreams to God. He cares about everything that happens in our hearts. At the end of that time, we will feel peace, knowing that we have entrusted everything to Him.
Make the daily commitment to have such a moment. Even if it’s just for a few minutes, seek that moment with God. He renews us, strengthens us, and reminds us of His unconditional love. With God by our side, we are prepared to face any challenge.
A moment with God:
Try to set aside a fixed time: choose a moment of the day to be alone with God.
Read the Bible: meditate on a text, seek to understand and apply its lessons daily.
Pray sincerely: talk to God, share your joys and difficulties with Him, and seek His guidance.
To pray:
Lord, thank You for this day. I give You my worries and joys. Guide my steps and give me wisdom to act with love and patience. May Your peace fill my heart and strengthen me. Help me to live according to Your will. In the name of Jesus, amen.
