There is a need to establish "quiet time" with God. Learn how to block out the distractions of house and home and enjoy refreshing daily fellowship with God.
Steps
- Devote your wake-up time to God, whether you work the first shift or the third shift. It gets your "day" off on the right foot and the Bible encourages us to give our "first fruits" to God. Those first few minutes are important to devote to God and seek His blessing on the rest of your day.
- Start with just five minutes a day and then add on to that time gradually. There is no set time limit or maximum. Do what feels right to you.
- Include ACTS:
- Adoration. Giving praise to God for who He is...Adore Him!
- Confession. Acknowledge the sin in your life and ask for forgiveness. He is faithful to forgive...and forget!
- Thanksgiving. Give thanks for all He's done for you...and all He is doing for You now and in the future.
- Supplication. Tell Him what you need to live right - grace, peace...and whatever physical needs you have such as healing. Also, intercede for others who need help from God.
- Feel free at any time to just sit in silence...here's where you can hear what God wants to say to you!
Tips
- As you grow spiritually, this framework can be changed according to how you feel comfortable. Always seek God on how He wants your relationship to proceed.
Warnings
- Don't get "religious" or legalistic about it...that means to do things the same way forever because you've always done it that way. See "Tips".
