How to Do Christian Devotions (Bible + Prayer = Quiet Time)


Do you struggle with knowing how to do daily Christian devotions or staying consistent with your quiet time? In this video, I walk through a simple, biblical, and practical framework for Christian devotions that anyone can follow—whether you’re a brand-new believer or a seasoned Christian who wants more structure.


We’ll cover the foundations of a healthy devotional life:

📖 Reading the Bible wisely

🙏 Praying biblically and purposefully

⏰ Building consistency that actually lasts


This video explains:

- How to choose a good Bible translation

- How to use a reading plan (Old & New Testament)

- Where to start if you’re new (Psalms & Gospels)

- How to take notes while reading Scripture

- How to pray using the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13)

- How to pray the Psalms

- Simple prayer frameworks like ACTS

- Why consistency matters more than intensity

- Whether devotional books help—or hurt—your prayer life

- Recommended devotional resources (Matthew Henry, Spurgeon, The Valley of Vision)

- Ideas for family devotions and long-term faithfulness


This is a Reformed, Scripture-centered approach to Christian devotions that emphasizes ordinary means of grace rather than gimmicks or trends.
