Taking time for God can be so uplifting, refreshing and strengthening.

But sometimes it can be hard making time for God.
Sometimes we make it harder for ourselves by following patterns of prayer and quiet times that just cannot fit in with our current lifestyles, even though once they would have.

Sometimes it's just good to try something different.

So here are a selection of methods to spend time with God which may be new to you.  They are divided (very roughly) into several sections with quite a lot of overlaps between them:

At Home

Out and About

Special Times

Time to Pray

Bible Study and Teaching

Worship

At Home

Take a moment.....

Listen to sermon tapes.  You can be ironing, cleaning, cooking, colouring with children or anything really!

Say "Hello God" for a couple of minutes whenever you sit down with a hot drink.

Keep a Bible or devotional notes in the bathroom!

Make a special place

Make a corner in the house your special place where you can draw nearer to God.  You can create corner for quiet pray and arrange pictures, symbols, a prayer and go to that place as "your" prayer corner.  Or you could take the more mundane place, such as the fridge door - and use its notes and stickies to inspire you to pray and remember God promises each time you pass by.

Keep a prayer journal.  Write down in a book your prayers and when I have seen God at work in my life.  Looking back on His blessings is a real encouragement.

Fill a photograph frame with snaps of the special people you want to regularly pray for and put it in a place you pass by regularly.  It acts as both a reminder and a focus when you pray.
