Quiet Time

  One thing that I am starting to implement in my life is a daily prayer time.  This doesn't mean that I sit for hours praying, but rather that I take a distinct pause from my daily life to be totally quiet and talk to God......thanking him for the good things in my life, asking for guidance with decisions I need to make, asking for help when I or others need it, etc. 

I think this is very important because I tend to stray away from God during the good times and cling on tight during the bad times, and that is very inconsistent.  I want to make it a habit, a discipline and a regular part of my life. 

I know some people practice this quiet time in the early morning, but I just don't know if that's right for me.  I'm not a morning person and I don't know that I would be in the right frame of mind and alert enough.....



I'm thinking that nighttime might be the right opportunity for me to do this - I'm actually much more alert, more in tune with spiritual matters, reflective and emotional. 

I anticipate that this practice will make me a more centered person who has a much closer relationship with my Maker.  I'll report back on how it goes........
