SEEKING GOD DAILY AND EARLY (2)
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed…Mark 1:35.
It is advisable you choose a place where you will be able to pray consistently as you seek the Lord. A place where there will be no distraction of any form or kind. Jesus did this severally. Mark 1:35. He separated Himself from the crowd into a solitary place and moved to God to seek Him and pray and to hear from him. Jesus admonishes us in Matt 6:6, "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." Brethren, rewards are even attached to having a quiet time, therefore, give it a priority.
It is also advisable to have a Bible reading plan to aid your consistency in seeking the Lord. Scriptural reading can either be chapter by chapter or topic by topic or using a daily devotional as this one or any Bible-based daily guide. List what you intend to pray about as the Holy Spirit directs. A reading plan will really help you to be focused. You also need some materials for your quiet time such as the Bible, a hymn book, a devotional book, notebook and a pen to write with. As you meditate, you may need to record what comes out of your meditation. You have to focus on Christ alone and be mentally alert. Don't go into quiet time when you are already exhausted because you may not be able to concentrate and flow very well. Your quiet time is personal and should not be substituted with the family altar. It is very important to create time to be with God alone and be faithful to doing it. Make seeking God your priority.
Prayer:
_Heavenly Father, I want to commune with You Lord and have a bond of Christ’s love with You on a daily basis. Father, let it be so, as my dependency is on You totally in Jesus’ Name._
