Use "quiet time" in a sentence

We will be talking a lot about quiet times in our book and in this blog, so I thought it might be helpful to quickly discuss, "what are quiet times?"
Generally when we talk about "quiet times" we may also use the words "devotions" or "personal Bible Study." It refers to a time we set aside to meet with God by reading, studying, and meditating on His word, and also by spending time in prayer.

Sometimes quiet times are not so quiet. Some people I know pull out their guitar and sing a praise and worship song. Some pray out loud. Some cry. Usually people try to find a secluded place - maybe it's a coffee shop, their bedroom, or any room where they know they can focus on reading and praying. People also vary in length of time--some may only have10 minutes in the morning, or some may have an hour.

Even though Christians around the world have their quiet times differently, the bottom line is that quiet times are special times set aside to have a one-on-one conversation with God. We have our quiet times because we love our Savior and want to get to know Him more. The great thing is that the more we know about Him, our love for Him will naturally grow!

Have you spent time with Him lately?

Hi Kuya Carlo!

Thanks for dropping by! The book was really a blessing - I didn't expect to be given another opportunity to write. The devotional book is published by Church Strengthening Ministry.

I'll be checking out your blog from now on. :) Regards to Ate Zha and the rest of the family!
