What is a way that you spend time with God each day?

[Lotw8]

I’m just curious what everyone does during their time with God and maybe some special daily rituals you might do to stay present with Him!

Let me share a little bit of my vision for the ministry in a parable.

Let's say I'm throwing a big party and am inviting the world to the party (the forums) and I want everyone to have a great time, eating (reading through posts being fed), drinking (being encouraged to walk in His Word), and having fellowship with one another.  In Israel, we have Shabbat meals -- and whenever you have 2 Jews -- you have 3 opinions -- it's GREAT to be opinionated.  I encourage discussions ... but during our Shabbat meals ... we never ever get to the point in disagreements whereby food is being tossed and seriously yelling takes place!  And if someone comes into the meal ... and starts throwing food ... and yells at everyone -- what do you suppose the head of the Shabbat meal will do?  He'll escort those causing problems out of the house!  Why?  Because the whole reason for the gathering was to learn from one another ... to have a great time of fellowship!  

Some people like to constantly throw food and yell ... they won't last on Worthy ... because they missed the point of the party ... it's a prequel to the true party -- the Lamb's Supper!  

All I'm trying to provide is a place to allow true fellowship ... and discussions in love ... in the hopes it will be a catalyst for true REVIVAL based on REPENTANCE!

I hope you have a blessed time at Worthy!

I usually read from my Bible as one of the first things I do when I wake up, if not the first. I feel like it's good to demonstrate a sense of priority. Beyond that I tend to thank God when big or little things go my way, especially with my current occupational training. With more struggle I thank Him for the setbacks on that, too. Better to experience the setbacks now in a training environment rather than during the real thing.

As a firm believer in flexibility I think it's hard to go wrong as long as we keep the two great commandments in mind.

I wake up, give thanks for this day and all the days of my life, quick prayer and ask God to guide my heart and mind, ask Him to guard my heart and mind. After a 'good morning' to my wife I pour my first cup of coffee, sit down and on the PC pull up my "THE WORD FOR YOU TODAY" I receive daily, A verse or two is explained and expounded upon. It is amazing how the scripture verse being discussed is so often in sink with my present situations, lifting me up, or bringing conviction.

I eventually walk down to my shop, sit down and read a few pages of current book being read, a western, a book on the Bema Seat Judgement or  a book on a better way for sharing the good news or Readers Digest etc etc. If I'm ripping plywood that day I stop and with my hands on the saw, acknowledge God, ask for wisdom and safety, etc, throughout the day. I am constantly submitting to God's for strength  while taking thoughts captive, and resisting the defeated devil who will flee. This goes on throughout the day and  has become automatic, without having to think of doing it so much.

Quote;    "Various sources suggest that the average adult makes 33,000 to 35,000 total decisions each day, including what we will eat, what we will wear, what we will say, and how we'll say it."    Dec 5, 2023         (That's a lot of 'thinking/thoughts':)

I do not have a quiet time set apart like most say they do. I do not have a special worship time either. I do have a good conversation with God before getting up and getting to bed at the end of the day going through the days events, confessing sin, giving thanks for the victories over temptations, and a big hearty thanks and gratitude for his mercy and grace and all the favor I know I do not deserve. This may go on longer than anticipated. The older I get the more I am grateful, knowing how blessed I am, the real blessings I mean.

I worship as best I can in all I do, not in a cathedral setting. Praying or building a cabinet, helping a grandson or  visiting a neighbor, as unto the Lord, abiding in all my daily work. The little things, motives,  can have more worship in them than the grand things. Two mites can have great golden value, and a fortune may burn like hay. God knows our hearts (“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?)  I acknowledge this, and try to remember not to trust my motives till I reflect with scripture. No, I do not always do for sure this but I try.

Great topic Lotw8.   (So what is your time and rituals with God like?)

My prayer life is mostly a constant state of communication in my mind and thoughts.  There are many moments when work, life, and the unexpected take place that requires my absolute focus.   But in general I praise, meditate, pray constantly.

 

I read my Bible daily and take what I read to see how it applies or how I can apply it to my life.   But I have developed a constant line of communication through my thoughts.   

 

I also have created a habit of saying the Lord's Prayer that He taught to His Disciples every night before bed time which I do pray verbally in a normal speaking voice.

 

For me, it's habits that I believed were good to do and eventually they become normal activities in my daily walk in God.

I really enjoy reading these replies! Keeping the knowledge of the presence of the Eternal throughout my day enforces my sense of always speaking the truth. Afterall, God is worshiped in spirit and truth. (John 4:24)

Every day, I try to start with a quick prayer, just thanking God for the new day. Throughout the day, I talk to Him whenever I can, even if it's just in my thoughts. It helps me stay connected and at peace.

Hi @D. Adrien Prayer and the Scriptures are indeed essential. 1 Peter 1 shows indeed how our very life in Christ is linked with the Word of God.

yes, I read 1Peter 1:22-25 twice each week as encouragement about the eternal word.

I walk with the Lord, and He walks with me. My vocation is whatever He gives me to do which, during these days, is a servant and counselor of the homeless and the needy. I am often called upon to testify to --- or advocate for --- those whom He places into my care.
