Time with God: A Complete Guide to Prayer and Intimacy with the Lord

Key Takeaways

• God wants your time, not your performance: Prayer is first about relationship, not religious activity. God doesn’t need what you can do. He simply wants to be with you. You were created for communion with Him.
• Prayer is partnership, not a monologue: Prayer is not persuading God. It is joining what God already wants to do. He initiates; you respond. You agree with His will and release it on earth.
• Prayer genuinely affects what God does: God does not change His character. He has chosen, in love, to act differently when His people pray. Your prayers matter more than you realise.
• Intimacy produces impact: Fruitfulness flows from abiding, not striving. Time with God is not a break from ‘real work’. It is the source of all true power and effectiveness.
• The main battle is prioritising time with Him: Distraction, busyness and excuse are the real enemies. God invites, not forces. He waits. The question isn’t “do you have time?” but “will you give Him first place?”

Introduction

Prayer is fundamentally about time with the Lord. It centres on communion, interaction and intimacy with God. He loves your company, and this desire lies at the very heart of why He created you – for relationship with Him (and others).

Many people approach their spiritual lives with a focus on activity, performance and achievement. They measure success through efficiency and productivity, wrapping it in spiritual language about kingdom advancement. Whilst these elements matter (and we will explore them shortly), they are not God’s highest priority.

Consider this profound truth: God needs nothing from you. He has existed eternally in complete fullness as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Hebrew word for Lord, Yahweh, means the Self-Existing One. God is utterly self-sufficient.

Yet remarkably, He wants you. He desires to spend time with you. He longs for relationship with Him.

Relationship matters more than activity.

The Foundation: God’s Desire for Relationship

Created for Communion

From the beginning, God designed humanity for relationship with Him. When He created Adam and Eve, He walked with them “in the garden in the cool of the day” (Genesis 3:8, NKJV). This wasn’t a duty or religious obligation. It was fellowship, the natural rhythm of Creator and creation enjoying one another’s presence.

The Lord declares through the prophet Jeremiah: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me” (Jeremiah 9:23-24, NKJV, emphasis added). God places knowing Him above wisdom, strength or wealth. Your relationship with Him stands as His supreme priority. He desires you to understand and know Him, just like you understand and know your best friend.

The Invitation to Draw Near

Throughout Scripture, God extends persistent invitations to come close to Him:

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. (James 4:8, NKJV)

The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. (Psalm 145:18, NKJV)

Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28, NKJV)

These verses reveal God’s welcoming heart. He doesn’t wait at a distance for you to prove yourself worthy. He actively invites you into His presence, eager for your company.

Time, Not Performance

Many believers struggle with the lie that they must perform to earn God’s attention. They think prayer requires eloquent words, long hours or perfect behaviour. Yet Jesus taught His disciples a simple, direct prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). He spent time with tax collectors and sinners, demonstrating that relationship with God flows from grace, not achievement.

The Apostle Paul reminds us: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9, NKJV). If salvation itself comes through grace rather than works, how much more does daily fellowship with God rest on His grace rather than your performance?

God desires the priority of your time, not just the leftovers.

Understanding Prayer as Partnership

Sharing Activities with God

Whilst relationship forms the foundation, God desires more than passive companionship. He invites you into active partnership. A shared activity becomes infinitely more enjoyable than a solitary one.

Consider the garden of Eden. God didn’t merely place Adam in a finished paradise to admire. He gave Adam meaningful work: “Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it” (Genesis 2:15, NKJV). God also invited Adam to participate in the creative act of naming the animals: “Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name” (Genesis 2:19, NKJV).

Partnership with God’s intention is God’s desire for those with whom He shares intimacy.

God didn’t need Adam’s help. He could have maintained the garden Himself and named every creature. Yet He chose to involve humanity in His work, demonstrating that He values shared purpose alongside shared presence.

Prayer as Agreement with God’s Will

Prayer is not about convincing God to change His mind or align with your agenda. It involves discovering what God desires and coming into agreement with His intention. Jesus modelled this perfectly in Gethsemane: “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will” (Matthew 26:39, NKJV). Even in His anguish, Jesus aligned His prayer with the Father’s purpose.

This understanding transforms prayer from a shopping list of requests into a conversation where you discern God’s heart and declare your agreement with it. The Apostle John writes: “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him” (1 John 5:14-15, NKJV).

Declaration Following Initiation

Prayer is your declaration in response to God’s initiation.

God moves first. He plants desires in your heart, opens your eyes to needs, and reveals His purposes. Your prayers then become declarations of agreement with what He has already purposed. This is why Jesus taught: “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10, NKJV). You’re asking God to accomplish what He already desires, joining your voice with His intention.

This doesn’t diminish prayer’s power. Rather, it positions you as a powerful partner with Almighty God. When you pray in alignment with His will, you release heaven’s authority on earth. Your prayers matter because God has chosen to work through the partnership of prayer.

How Prayer Affects God’s Actions

Understanding prayer requires grasping a profound mystery: we do not pray to force God to change a bad plan. We do pray because God has chosen to act sovereignly and differently when His people pray. Prayer does not change who God is, but it can affect what God does.

This truth may seem paradoxical, yet Scripture demonstrates it repeatedly. God’s character remains unchangeable. “For I am the LORD, I do not change” (Malachi 3:6, NKJV). His nature, His holiness, His love, His justice, none of these shift or waver. James confirms: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:17, NKJV).

Yet this unchanging God has sovereignly chosen to make human prayer a factor in how He acts in the world. He has built prayer into His eternal purposes, not to correct His plans, but as the very method by which He accomplishes them.

Biblical Examples of Prayer Affecting God’s Actions

Consider Moses on Mount Sinai. After Israel worshipped the golden calf, God declared His intention to destroy the people and start again with Moses. Scripture records: “And the Lord said to Moses, ‘I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people! Now therefore, let Me alone, that My wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them. And I will make of you a great nation.’” (Exodus 32:9-10, NKJV).

Moses interceded passionately, reminding God of His promises to Abraham, Isaac and Israel. The result? “So the LORD relented from the harm which He said He would do to His people” (Exodus 32:14, NKJV). God’s character didn’t change, His hatred of idolatry remained constant, but His action changed in response to Moses’ prayer.

King Hezekiah provides another striking example. The prophet Isaiah delivered God’s message: “Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live” (2 Kings 20:1, NKJV). This wasn’t a warning or a possibility. It was a declaration of what would happen.

Yet Hezekiah prayed earnestly, weeping before the Lord. Before Isaiah had left the palace grounds, God sent him back with a new message: “Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.” ’ ” (2 Kings 20:5-6, NKJV).

God’s action changed because of prayer. His character as the God who hears and responds remained constant, but what He did in that specific situation altered through Hezekiah’s intercession.

God’s Sovereign Choice to Involve Prayer

Why would an all-powerful, all-knowing God choose to operate this way? Several profound reasons emerge from Scripture:

To honour relationship: God designed prayer as the expression of partnership between Creator and creation. By making prayer instrumental in accomplishing His purposes, He elevates humanity from mere subjects to beloved partners. You matter to God, not just as an object of His love, but as a participant in His work.

To develop faith: Prayer stretches your trust in God. When you pray and see Him respond, your faith grows. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6, NKJV). The prayer process itself builds the faith God desires in His people.

To protect free will: God does not force His will upon people or situations. He invites participation through prayer. This preserves human dignity and genuine relationship rather than reducing people to puppets. Your prayers give God the invitation and authority to intervene in ways He might not otherwise act.

To accomplish His purposes through partnership: From creation onwards, God has chosen to work through partnership. He could have maintained Eden without Adam’s help, but He invited human participation. Similarly, He could accomplish everything without prayer, but He has chosen prayer as how His purposes come to pass on earth.

The Mystery of Divine Sovereignty and Human Prayer

Theologians have wrestled with this tension for centuries: if God is sovereign, why pray? Yet Scripture holds both truths without contradiction. God is sovereign, and prayer genuinely matters.

Paul writes: “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13, NKJV). God works in you to create the desire to pray, then responds to the prayer He inspired. The entire process flows from His sovereign initiative, yet your participation through prayer remains essential.

Think of it this way: a parent may decide to give a child a gift but waits for the child to ask. The parent’s love and intention to give exist before the request, yet the asking matters. It builds relationship, teaches the child to come with needs, and makes the giving a shared experience rather than mere provision.

Similarly, God invites you to ask, seek and knock (Matthew 7:7). He already knows your needs, but He desires the intimacy of you bringing them to Him. He has purposes He longs to fulfil, but He waits for His people to pray them into reality.

Practical Implications

This understanding transforms how you approach prayer:

Pray with confidence: Your prayers matter immensely. God has chosen to make them significant in how He works. You’re not trying to change a reluctant God’s mind. You’re partnering with a loving Father who has invited your participation.

Pray with humility: You don’t pray from a position of knowing better than God. You pray recognising that He has made prayer how His perfect will comes to pass. Trust His wisdom even when His responses differ from your expectations.

Pray persistently: If prayer affects what God does, then failing to pray means missing opportunities for God to act. Jesus taught: “men always ought to pray and not lose heart” (Luke 18:1, NKJV). Your consistent prayers matter in ways you may never fully understand this side of eternity.

Pray expectantly: Approach God believing that He hears and will respond. “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16, NKJV). Your prayers invite God’s action into situations that might remain unchanged without your intercession.

The unchanging God has chosen to make your prayers a factor in how He acts. This doesn’t diminish His sovereignty. It demonstrates His extraordinary love for you and His desire to accomplish His purposes through relationship with you. Your prayers matter because God has determined they should matter.

The Power of Prayer

Heaven and Earth Connected

Prayer serves as the meeting point between heaven and earth, the visible and invisible realms. Through prayer, you access the throne room of God and bring His presence, power and purposes into earthly situations.

The prophet Daniel demonstrated this truth. When he prayed for understanding, an angel appeared with this message: “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words” (Daniel 10:12, NKJV). Daniel’s prayers initiated angelic activity and shifted spiritual realities.

Authority in Jesus’ Name

Jesus promised extraordinary power to those who pray in His name: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” (John 14:12-14, NKJV).

Praying in Jesus’ name means more than adding “in Jesus’ name” to the end of your prayers. It means praying with His authority, in alignment with His character and purposes. As His representative, you carry His authority to accomplish His will.

Prayer Changes Things

Throughout Scripture and history, prayer has proven itself as a key part of partnership with Almighty God.

Prayer changes circumstances:

Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. (James 5:17-18, NKJV)

Prayer changes people:

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. (1 Timothy 2:1-2, NKJV)

Prayer changes you:

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7, NKJV).

Prayer is powerful, and it forms a key part of your partnership with Almighty God.

Practical Guidance for Time with God

Making Time a Priority

The crucial question is not whether you have time for God, but whether you give Him the priority of your time or merely the leftovers.

Jesus Himself prioritised time with the Father: “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed” (Mark 1:35, NKJV). If the Son of God needed time alone with the Father, how much more do you?

Consider these practical steps:

Schedule it: What gets scheduled gets done. Set aside specific times for prayer, treating them as unmissable appointments with the King of kings.

Start where you are: If you’re not currently spending regular time with God, begin with realistic goals. Even ten minutes of focused time daily will transform your relationship with Him. You can expand as the hunger for His presence grows.

Protect it: Your time with God will face constant opposition. Distractions, urgent tasks and competing priorities will attempt to crowd it out. Guard this time fiercely, knowing that everything else flows from this relationship.

Place it first: Wherever possible, meet with God before other activities demand your attention. Morning prayer sets the tone for your entire day and ensures you give God your best energy rather than exhausted leftovers.

Creating Space for Encounter

Find a place: Jesus spoke of entering “your room” to pray (Matthew 6:6, NKJV). Identify a physical location where you can meet with God without interruption. This might be a corner of your bedroom, a home office, or even a spot in a local park. The location matters less than the consistency and freedom from distraction it provides.

Eliminate distractions: Silence your phone. Close unnecessary browser tabs. Let household members know you’re not to be disturbed. These boundaries honour God and demonstrate that this time matters to you.

Bring your Bible: God speaks primarily through His Word. The Psalmist declares: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105, NKJV). Keep Scripture central to your time with God, allowing Him to speak to you through His revealed Word.

Keep a journal: Recording what God reveals creates a lasting testimony of His faithfulness. You can return to these written prayers and observations during difficult seasons, remembering how God has led you.

Elements of Time with God

Whilst prayer should flow naturally rather than follow rigid formulas, these biblical elements provide helpful structure:

Worship: Begin by acknowledging who God is. The Lord’s Prayer starts with “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name” (Matthew 6:9, NKJV). Worship shifts your focus from your circumstances to God’s character, greatness and faithfulness.

Thanksgiving: “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name” (Psalm 100:4, NKJV). Gratitude positions your heart rightly, reminding you of God’s goodness and provision.

Confession: Honest acknowledgement of sin maintains fellowship with God. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9, NKJV). Don’t allow unconfessed sin to create barriers between you and God.

Listening: Prayer is a conversation (or an active interaction), not a monologue (or a one way conversation). After you speak, wait quietly for God to respond. “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10, NKJV). God speaks through Scripture, through the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit, and sometimes through profound silence that teaches patience and trust.

Intercession: Pray for others, carrying their needs before God’s throne. This reflects God’s heart and positions you as a priest representing others before Him. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men” (1 Timothy 2:1, NKJV).

Petition: Bring your own needs before God with confidence. “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16, NKJV). God invites you to share your concerns, knowing He cares for you.

Declaration: Speak God’s promises and purposes over your life and circumstances. This isn’t presumption but agreement with what God has already revealed. Jesus declared truth over situations, and you can follow His example.

Dealing with Distractions and Dryness

Every believer experiences seasons when prayer feels difficult. Your mind wanders. The heavens seem silent. God feels distant.

Persevere: Jesus taught His disciples “that men always ought to pray and not lose heart” (Luke 18:1, NKJV). Feelings fluctuate, but commitment remains steady. Continue showing up even when you don’t feel like it.

Be honest: The Psalms overflow with raw, honest prayers. David cried out: “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, and from the words of My groaning?” (Psalm 22:1, NKJV). God can handle your honest emotions and questions.

Pray Scripture: When your own words fail, pray God’s Word back to Him. Hence the need to read and know Scriptures. The Psalms provide especially rich material for prayer. This ensures you’re praying in alignment with God’s truth.

Ask the Holy Spirit for help: “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Romans 8:26, NKJV). You’re not alone in prayer. The Holy Spirit prays alongside you and through you.

Growing in Prayer

Like any relationship, your prayer life develops over time. Don’t compare your beginning with someone else’s maturity. The disciples walked with Jesus for three years before asking Him to teach them to pray (Luke 11:1).

Learn from others: Read biographies of prayer warriors. Observe mature believers. Ask trusted mentors about their prayer practices. God uses the wisdom and experience of others to shape your own journey.

Experiment: Whilst core principles remain constant, prayer practices can vary. Some people pray best walking outdoors. Others need silence and stillness. Some keep detailed prayer lists. Others prefer spontaneous conversation with God. Discover what helps you connect most deeply with Him.

Recognise progress: Growth often happens slowly and imperceptibly. You might not notice daily changes, but look back over months or years and you’ll see transformation. The person who prays regularly for a year becomes different from who they were before, even if they can’t pinpoint the moment change occurred.

Expect more: God desires to reveal Himself to you progressively. The prophet Jeremiah records God’s invitation: “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3, NKJV). God has more to show you, more to teach you, more of Himself to reveal. Approach prayer with expectancy.

Prayer and Kingdom Advancement

The Connection Between Intimacy and Impact

Earlier, we established that relationship matters more than activity. This doesn’t mean activity and kingdom advancement are unimportant. Rather, they flow from relationship rather than replacing it.

Jesus demonstrated this pattern perfectly. He spent entire nights in prayer (Luke 6:12) yet accomplished more in three years of ministry than anyone before or since. His impact flowed directly from His intimacy with the Father.

When Martha complained that Mary sat listening to Jesus instead of helping with preparations, Jesus responded: “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:41-42, NKJV). The “one thing” needed was time and intimacy with Jesus, not in busyness or constant performance. From that foundation, everything else flows.

Fruitfulness Versus Striving

Many believers exhaust themselves in kingdom activity whilst their relationship with God withers. Jesus offers a different approach: “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:4-5, NKJV, emphasis added).

Fruit results from abiding, not striving. When you maintain connection with Jesus through prayer and relationship, fruitfulness becomes the natural outcome. You accomplish kingdom purposes not through relentless activity but through sustained intimacy.

Knowing God’s Heart for Ministry

Time with God reveals His heart for specific situations, people and needs. You cannot partner effectively with God’s purposes if you don’t know what those purposes are. Prayer provides the clarity needed for effective kingdom work.

Before Jesus chose His twelve disciples, “He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles” (Luke 6:12-13, NKJV). The night of prayer preceded the crucial decision. Intimacy with the Father informed His ministry choices.

Your time with God should function similarly. Through prayer, you discover where He’s working, what He desires to accomplish and how He wants to involve you. Kingdom advancement then becomes participation in what God is already doing rather than you generating ministry activity in your own strength.

Addressing Common Obstacles

“I Don’t Have Time”

This statement usually reveals priorities rather than genuine time shortage. Everyone has the same 168 hours each week. The question is how you allocate them.

Consider that you likely find time for meals, entertainment and sleep. You make time for what matters to you. If prayer feels like an obligation rather than a privilege, ask God to reveal His heart for time with you. As you experience His presence, desire for more time with Him will grow naturally.

Jesus addressed this priority issue directly: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33, NKJV). When you prioritise God, everything else falls into proper place. Time with Him doesn’t subtract from your productivity. It multiplies your effectiveness.

“I Don’t Know What to Say”

God desires honest conversation more than eloquent speeches. Come as you are, speak plainly and trust that He values your sincere words.

Remember that “the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us” (Romans 8:26, NKJV). You’re not alone in prayer. The Holy Spirit assists you.

If words truly fail, simply sit in God’s presence. Read Scripture slowly. Worship Him silently. Not every moment with someone you love requires words. Sometimes presence is enough.

“I Don’t Feel Anything”

Prayer is not primarily about feelings. It rests on the objective truth that God hears and responds, regardless of your emotional state.

The Bible assures you: “For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers” (1 Peter 3:12, NKJV). This promise doesn’t depend on your feelings. God’s attentiveness to your prayers is a fact, not an emotion.

Feelings often follow faithfulness. As you continue praying consistently, even when it feels dry, you’ll eventually experience breakthrough moments of deep connection. But even in seasons without strong feelings, know that prayer accomplishes its purposes because God is faithful, not because you feel a certain way.

“My Prayers Aren’t Answered”

This concern requires careful consideration of several factors.

Timing: God’s timing often differs from yours. Abraham waited 25 years for Isaac. Hannah prayed for years before Samuel’s birth. Delayed answers are not denied answers. “For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” (Habakkuk 2:3, NKJV).

Alignment with God’s will: Sometimes your prayers request something outside God’s purposes. Paul prayed three times for removal of his “thorn in the flesh,” but God answered: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9, NKJV). The answer was no because God had better plans.

Unconfessed sin: Sin can hinder prayer. “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear” (Psalm 66:18, NKJV, emphasis added). If prayers seem unanswered, examine your life for sin that needs confession and repentance.

Lack of faith: James writes: “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord” (James 1:6-7, NKJV). Trust that God hears and will respond according to His wisdom and love.

Spiritual warfare: Sometimes delay results from spiritual opposition, as Daniel experienced (Daniel 10:12-13). Persist in prayer, knowing that spiritual battles occur beyond what you can see.

Even when you don’t understand God’s response, trust His character. He is good, He loves you, and He works all things together for your benefit (Romans 8:28).

The Invitation

It’s time to spend time with God in prayer.

Not because you must, but because you’re invited and you want to. The Creator of the universe desires your company or fellowship. Just like your best friend, He longs to share His heart with you, to partner with you in His purposes, and to lavish His love upon you.

Prayer is not merely a spiritual discipline or religious duty. It is the joyful privilege of intimacy with the One who made you, knows you completely, and loves you eternally.

As you develop this practice of spending time with God, you’ll discover the answers to life’s deepest questions. You’ll understand more clearly who you are, created in His image and beloved by Him. You’ll find where you fit, as a son or daughter with full belonging in His family. You’ll discover what difference you can make, as God reveals the unique purpose and calling that only you can fulfil.

From this foundation of intimacy, you’ll live in the freedom Christ purchased for you, walk in victory over sin and darkness, and make eternal impact through partnership with Almighty God.

The King awaits you. Will you give Him the priority of your time?

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (Revelation 3:20, NKJV)

Open the door. He’s been waiting for you.
