Most days it’s difficult to get a moment to myself, let alone find quality time with Jesus.
Steps To Quiet Time With God
Before we can look at the Bible reading plans, we need to know the basic steps to having quiet time with God.
- Get alone with God
- Open your reading plan and go through the pages 😊
It’s that simple!
Many of the quiet time reading plans I am going to show you today are called devotionals.
A devotional takes all the guess work out for you.
Typically devotions are based off of a passage of scripture, followed by an author sharing his or her personal experience and or explanation of the passage. Then, a good devotional will lead you into questions and prompts to apply it to your own life.
One challenge for people as they start to read their bible is to be able to apply it to their daily life. A quiet time reading plan will help do that for you.

What is the purpose of quiet time with God?
There are so many benefits of spending alone time with God. The list could go on and on! One of the main purposes of quiet time with God is to grow in your relationship with him. Just like with a friend or family member, in order to strengthen your relationship, you have to spend time together. It’s the same way with God.
He actually craves time with you!
The importance of quiet time with God is to deepen your faith, encourage your spirit, and feel God’s presence.
Not only is getting alone with God going to strengthen your relationship, but it will actually help you in so many areas. The bible is the living Word of God, and when you read it, it comes alive in your heart and in your spirit.
If you don’t believe me, try it!
