Our time with God.How much of our time belongs to God?1 Cor.6:19-20.

A true believer wants to spend time alone with God. It stems from a loving relationship. Matt. 6:6.

The time with God is when we commune with Him and share His cecrets, when we receive our Daily Bread and get answers to prayer. Without it there is no growth in the Faith and no close  relationship.

We need to develop a quiet time, it does not come automatically.

How do we best use this time? There is no command in the Word, only to pray: Ps.55:17.

Best Guide: Read the Word, meditate on it, wait on God, Pray. It is not a time for shopping lists, but a time for worship.

Note some people of God: Paul the Apostle, after converssion, went to Arabia. He was taught by God. Gal.1:15-17. 

Moses on Mt. Sinai spent much time wiith God. When he came down his face shone. Ex.34:29-30.

Epaphras was commended as a prayer warrior, Col.4:12.

How much time should I spend with God? As much as possible, but regulate it to suit your day.

Pray without ceasing: Without long interruptions, not when we feel like it.

Discipline yourself and your mind. What are the causes for lack of concentration?  Beware of

Satan's methods. 

I do not really have time. We do have time for lots of other things. What is our priority?

Pro 10:27. 'The fear of the Lord prolongs days' . A sure way of having free time. Freed from the cares, when we give time for prayer.
