Week 4: Cultivating a Quiet Time

What does your devotional life look life? Do you have a Bible Study action plan? Are there any types of prayer discussed that you would like to try this week?

I use to know where my bible was, but never used it. I started Devotime.org, but was not committed to visiting the website each day. Then one day I noticed that I could get a daily email sent to me to read the daily message. The only drawback is that I still don't get to the devotime.org website to see the accompanying video, but I do read daily and get a chance to reflect on the word and how it applies to my life. Also, I downloaded the Youbible app and read its daily message. It is usually a verse instead of a chapter so it is easier to process if you are in a hurry. Finally, I read Joel Osteen's Your Best Life. Some may not be his biggest fans, but it is a good book. It has daily bible verses and a message that accompanies the daily message.

I have no set bible study plan. I just attempt to read and reread verses until I understand them. If it is historical I continue to read, but if it extremely pertinent as all verses are I see how I can apply it to my life. I should work better to develop my bible study action plan.

I want to try prayer walking as we are always walking. It is so practical. Also, I like soaking prayer. I feel this is what I do, but feel I need to get better with intercession which is praying on someone's behalf.
