Note #1 You want to Get Coser to God, But You Don’t Know Where to Start

You Want to Get Closer to God, But You Don't Know Where to Start 🤍

Maybe you've been telling yourself lately:

I really want to spend more time with God.

You want to read your Bible more. You want to pray more. You want to understand Scripture instead of just reading the words and closing the book.

But then you sit down…and don't really know what to do.

So you put it off until tomorrow.

Here's your reminder: you don't have to completely change your life overnight to start getting closer to God.

You can start small.

Start with five quiet minutes.

You don't need the perfect morning routine, a new Bible, six highlighters, or an hour of uninterrupted quiet.

Grab your Bible. Make your coffee or tea. Sit somewhere comfortable.

Give God five minutes.

Read a few verses slowly instead of trying to finish several chapters.

Talk to God before you read.

Your prayer doesn't have to sound beautiful.

Try:

“God, I'm here. Help me understand what You want me to see today. Help me know You better.”

That's enough.

Start somewhere simple.

If opening your Bible and seeing hundreds of pages makes you think, Okay…now what? — don't feel like you have to start on page one.

Try beginning with John to spend time learning about Jesus.

Try Psalms when you need comfort, encouragement, or words for what you're feeling.

Try Proverbs when you want practical wisdom for everyday life.

Or spend several days reading the same small passage.

There isn't a prize for finishing the fastest.

Write down one thing.

Before you close your Bible, ask yourself:

What is one thing I want to remember from what I just read?

Write down one sentence.

That's Bible study, too.

And little by little, those five-minute moments begin adding up.

You start recognizing Scripture.

You start understanding God's character.

You start wanting to come back.

And eventually, spending time with God stops feeling like another thing you should be doing and starts becoming somewhere you genuinely want to be.

Your little challenge for today 🌷

Don't worry about creating the perfect Bible routine.

Just give God five minutes today.

Read a little.

Pray a little.

Write down one thing you want to remember.

And come back tomorrow.

One small moment with God is still a moment with God.

With love,
