Quiet Time is time you set aside to talk to God and listen to His voice.

To shut out distractions, find a place where nothing will disturb you — or visit a church.

It is necessary that one should have a silent corner in which to converse with God, as if nothing else existed... (Edith Stein)

Jesus does not say... If you pray. He says... When you pray. He takes it for granted that prayer will be part of your life.

Set aside time each day to talk to God as though you had an appointment with Him.

At first your prayer time may be only a few minutes, but aim for 20 minutes a day. Have Quiet Time at the same time each day. Then you are less likely to miss a day. With determination, it becomes a good habit.

If you miss a day, don’t be discouraged. Start again the very next day. Soon you will experience:

• A sense of peace, an inner calm.
• A power over things that pull you down.
• A certainty that your past failures have been forgiven.
• A joy in your heart that is independent of circumstances.
• A new closeness to Jesus Christ.

In Quiet Time, Jesus helps us to make sense of our lives.

Although prayers or good works can never repay this great gift from God, a prayer of thanks for God’s daily care should be included in our Quiet Time conversations.
