Prayer Focus-Quiet Time with God

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Focus, we take a look at quiet time with God.

Isaiah 50, verse 4 says, “The Sovereign LORD has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.”

Jesus was the perfect example of making fellowship with His Heavenly Father top priority. Mark 1:35 records that Jesus got up very early in the morning, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

Billy Graham has said, “Nothing can take the place of a daily devotional life with Christ. Your quiet time, your prayer time, the time you spend in the Word, is absolutely essential for a happy Christian life. You cannot possibly be a happy, dynamic, and powerful Christian apart from a daily walk with Christ.’

Quiet Time with God is worth examining for a faith-focused life.
