In the busyness of life, we often struggle to find time for God. Responsibilities pull us in different directions, and distractions consume our attention. Yet, deep within, we long for a connection with Him that brings peace, purpose, and strength.
Spending time with God is not a religious obligation but a necessity for our spiritual well-being. When we intentionally seek God, we experience His presence in ways that transform our hearts. He renews our minds, gives us wisdom, and fills us with His love.
Through consistent fellowship with Him, our lives reflect His goodness, and we become more like Christ. The Bible emphasizes this truth repeatedly, calling us to draw near to God and abide in Him daily.

Our Thought on What the Bible Says About Spending Time with God
The Bible repeatedly calls us to seek God with all our hearts. It teaches that spending time with Him strengthens our faith, renews our spirit, and aligns our desires with His will. From the very beginning, God has desired an intimate relationship with His people.
He created us to seek Him, walk with Him, and know Him personally. But if we neglect our time with Him, our faith weakens, and we lose sight of His voice. To grow spiritually, we must make time for prayer, worship, and meditating on His Word.
Whether through prayer, worship, or studying Scripture, drawing near to God brings wisdom, peace, and lasting joy. A relationship with God requires consistency-He rewards those who diligently seek Him.
In His presence, we find refuge, clarity, and the strength to navigate life’s challenges. If we make time for Him, He will fill our lives with purpose and guide us in the path of righteousness.
