Ask the Pastor with J.D. Greear

How Do You Structure Your Quiet Time?

Listen Later

Pastor J.D. shares helpful tips to structure quiet time with God and reminds listeners that It’s more important to find a rhythm that works for them than to do it “the right way.”

A glimpse inside this episode:

  • Pastor J.D.’s Personal Method: 15-15-15
    • 15 minutes of Bible reading
    • 15 minutes of prayer
    • 15 minutes of devotional, Scripture memorization, etc.
    • ACTS method of praying
      • Adoration
      • Confession
      • Thanksgiving
      • Supplication
      • Prayer helps
        • Paul Miller’s A Praying Life
        • Notecards, journaling, going for walks, etc.
        • Gospel Prayer from Gospel
          • In you, there is nothing I could do to make you love me more; nothing I have done that makes you love me less.
          • You are all I need today for everlasting joy.
          • As you have been to me, so I will be to others.
          • As I pray, I’ll measure your compassion by the cross and your power by the resurrection.
          • Start where you are!
            • Don’t get overwhelmed.
            • If you aren’t doing anything at all, start with 5 or 10 minutes. Don’t let what others are doing intimidate you from just starting.
            • It’s more important that you find a rhythm that works for you than to do it “the right way.” To paraphrase a friend of mine, “I like my way of meeting with God better than your way of not meeting with him.”
