I have found myself wondering lately what others do for their personal quiet time with the Lord. There are so many ways to practice His presence! One of my favorite things to do is to take Scriptures or the devotionals I'm reading and turn them into prayers that I write out in my journal. This way, when I'm having a rough time and feel stuck or don't know how to pray, I just open my journal and read it aloud. It soothes my soul and reminds me of God's love, grace, and mercy. It helps me exalt him above every problem and circumstance. It's so easy to knock the personal, intimate time to the bottom of the shuffle in a busy day, but my day feels so off when I allow that! When I seek God first, I am just a much more peaceful person. I'm pretty sure everyone around me appreciates it. :)
