31 Days to #ASimpler Joy: How to Be Still

31 Days to #ASimplerJoy

Sometimes I get my day started without spending quiet time with God.  I do spend time with God daily…it is just not always quiet.

I read scripture daily before my kids get up.  Every morning the kids and I do a devotional at breakfast together.  And I LOVE to write about God’s Word at work in my life.

But quiet time? <crickets>

Part of my Tiny Habits Challenge this week is making sure that I insert some quiet time with the Lord BEFORE I start my day.  One of my tiny habits this week is to set my prayer book out, (opened) first thing.  My unpredictable morning routine means that I need something  simple.  And here it is:

The publishers quick overview explains just why I love it so much.

This is a guide for praying Scripture back to God, organized into two parts: a daily growth guide that takes the reader through three months of daily affirmations on the Attributes of God, The Works of God, My Relationship to God, The Character I want to Cultivate, and My Relationships to Others

I have had this book for years.  My sweet Momma gave it to me.  I have used it off and on since I received it.  I can spend a leisurely time if I like, or I can have a focused quiet time for five minutes that really puts my mind on God.  Each daily affirmation is scripture, phrased with “I” statements, making it very personal.  I know that starting my day with this practice again will be #ASimplerJoy.

How about you?  What do you do for quiet time?
