FIFTEEN MINUTES A DAY WITH GOD

(A plan to get you started)

1. RELAX (1 minute)
   Be still and be quiet! Slow down! Prepare your heart. Take a few deep breaths and wait on God.
2. READ A VERSE (4 minutes)
   See the section on "How to read God's Word"
   Begin reading where you left off the day before. Read until you feel God has told you something. Then stop and think about it.
3. REFLECT ON THE VERSE (4 minutes)
   Think about what the passage means to your life. Write down your thoughts.  Part of reflecting is memorizing verses that speak to you in a special way.
4. RECORD WHAT GOD SAID (2 minutes)
    Write out a personal application statement that is practical, possible, and measurable.
   “Thoughts disentangle themselves when they pass through the lips and the fingertips.”
5. REQUEST  (4 minutes)                                                                                 
   Conclude your Quiet Time by talking to God about what he has shown you and making your requests from your prayer list.
