5 Tips for Better Quiet Time With God

The perfect quiet time— what should it look like? Should we have a special tree in the shade outside where we can watch the sun rise? Should it be an old wooden bench by the waterfront? Does it need to be a desk worthy of an Instagram post?

Maybe your quiet time looks different. Maybe you read your bible at the kitchen table between half-empty cereal bowls and cups of orange juice. Maybe it’s at the corner of that old couch, with your dogs barking at the window nearby and your phone ringing.

Every quiet time place looks different. And how long should our quiet times be? Do we need a seven-minute study or 20-minutes of dedicated prayer time? What makes up the perfect quiet time?

The truth is there is no perfect quiet time. It doesn’t matter where you find a few moments to spend time with the Lord. God just wants us to meet with him daily.
