Finding a Little Time for God Every Day
Life is busy. Finding time to stop, pray and spend time with God can sometimes feel like one more thing to fit into an already full day.
But devotional time doesn't need to be long or complicated. Sometimes ten quiet minutes is enough to change the way we approach the rest of the day.
Find your moment
Morning works beautifully for some people. For others, it's the school run, a lunch break or the few quiet minutes before bed.
Don't worry about finding the perfect time. Find the time that works for you and make it yours.
Start with something to guide you
If you don't know where to begin, a devotional can provide a simple rhythm: a short reading, a passage of Scripture and something to reflect or pray about.
Choose one that speaks to where you are in life right now.

Create a place to pause
You don't need a dedicated prayer room. A favourite chair, the kitchen table before everyone wakes up or a quiet corner of the home or garden can become somewhere you regularly stop and spend time with God.
Keep your Bible, devotional and perhaps a notebook there so everything you need is within reach.
Don't just read – reflect
Sometimes one sentence is enough.
If something in your reading stands out, stop there. Write it down, turn it into a prayer or carry the thought with you into the day.
A devotional isn't something to get through. It's there to help create space for you and God.
Missed a day? Start again
A devotional habit isn't about maintaining a perfect record.
Some weeks you'll find your rhythm. Other weeks life will get in the way.
Simply pick it up again.
Five minutes with God today is more valuable than worrying about the thirty minutes you didn't manage yesterday.
Find something for your quiet time
Whether you're looking for daily encouragement, a seasonal reading plan or support through a particular chapter of life, find a devotional that helps you make a little more room for God in your day.
