You know when you’re trying to have your quiet time or Bible study and it just doesn’t go the way you want? Yea, me too! I wanted to share a few tips that help me stay on task and help me walk away feeling refreshed and ready to approach the day. Find a quiet place. For me, I need to be alone to minimize distractions. Even Jesus went off to be alone with The Father, Matthew 14:23. If you’re like me, when you sit down, a million thoughts come to mind; what you need to grab from the grocery store or do later in the day. Have a piece of paper handy. When those thoughts come, write them down and quickly move on. Don’t focus on the list and other things you might need to add. Just slide it away and pick that Bible back up. For me, I have my qt early in the morning; before the sun is up, before my family, before I start the laundry or do anything else. Once the world is awake and things are busy I know my time is filled with a lot more distractions. Be consistent. I sit in the same spot every single morning. My Bible, pen, paper and everything I need is always there so there’s no fumbling around trying to get my things together. This is a big one; if you’re starting early, leave your phone off! Once those notifications start rolling in or you pick up your phone to just look something up quick, the enemy is working to captivate you and keep you distracted. I have the hardest time focusing. I’m extremely distracted by any small noise or movement. There’s a word for this, it’s just 3 little letters...A*D. The struggle is real. This can be absolutely exhausting and make me feel so unproductive. I have a roller bottle with Lavender, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Frankincense + Brain Power. They truly calm my Brian and help me to stay on task. 🙌🏼 Taking these steps truly helps me get the best start to my day. It helps me to walk through my day calmer and more intentional knowing that I’ve spent sweet time with My Father that morning. Sidenote: I ❤️ my coffee table decor.
