Most of us talk all the time about the value of conscious contact with a Higher Power. But how many of us take the time on a regular basis to improve this conscious contact? If we don't already have a regular habit of prayer and meditation in our day, today is a good day to try it.
Quiet time doesn't have to be long. Many of us find that twenty to thirty minutes is enough to quiet our minds, focus on a spiritual text, share our thoughts and concerns in prayer, and take some time to listen to God's will for us through of contemplation. Quiet time doesn't have to last long to be effective, but it does need to be a regular process. When we set aside twenty minutes once a month for prayer, it is likely that the result of this effort at conscious contact will disappoint us. But when we allocate twenty minutes on a daily basis, an already functional contact with a Higher Power is renewed and strengthened.
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, many of us do not manage to spend even a minute in our day to improve our conscious contact with the God of our understanding. But if we establish as "quiet time" a certain time of the day, every day, it is certain that our conscious contact will improve.
