God, I hear Your still small voice calling out, \u201cWhere are you? Where have you been? Don\u2019t you realize you need me?\u201d Oh, I need You, yes I need You\u2014every hour I need You!<\/p>\n

Of course, I know I need God, but I don\u2019t always act like I know I need God. It\u2019s sometimes easier to go about my merry way and ignore the fact that I\u2019m really not in charge. In fact, life doesn\u2019t usually go as well when I operate as though I\u2019m the one in control.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpending time alone with Me is essential for your well-being. It is not a luxury or an option; it is a necessity. Therefore, do not feel guilty about taking time to be with me,\u201d Jesus Calling<\/em>, by Sarah Young.<\/p>\n

You, too, have decisions\/choices to make. Big ones and little ones. But before any decisions should be made, I must spend time with God, in His presence, in His word. When I take the time to do this, I find guidance and blessed peace. Peace that this world can never offer me. Do you find this to be true?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Do you find it difficult to set aside time to meditate in God\u2019s presence?<\/p>\n

\u2022 What truths did you encounter when you spent time with God and in His Word?<\/p>\n

\u201cCome near to God and he will come near to you\u2026\u201d\u2014James 4:7-8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
