more quality time with Jesus Christ

We rejoice with you in this beautiful and godly desire to spend more and more quality time with our Lord Jesus Christ, and we join our faith with yours as we bring this before our Heavenly Father.
This longing is placed in your heart by God Himself, for He desires fellowship with us. As it is written, Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. James 4:8. Your hunger for His presence is a sign that He is already drawing you closer.
We are encouraged that you asked this in the Name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6. There is no other name by which we can approach God or be saved, and we praise God that you have called upon that precious name.
The Scriptures teach us that quality time with Him is not merely a duty but the source of our life and strength. Jesus said, Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. John 15:4. To remain is to abide, to linger, to make our home in His presence through prayer, through His Word, and through quiet worship.
We encourage you to seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33. When we prioritize Him above all else, He orders our days and makes time for what truly matters. We also remember the call to Be still, and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10. Quality time often means stillness, turning away from distraction to simply behold Him. As the psalmist prayed, One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh's house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh's beauty, and to inquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4. And the promise remains, You will seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13.
Practically, we encourage you to set apart a consistent time and place each day to meet with Him, even if it begins small, to open the Word before you open the day, to pray not only with words but with listening, and to guard that time as holy.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, and we thank You for this dear one whose heart longs for more of You. Father, we ask that You stir an even deeper hunger and create both desire and discipline to spend quality time with You. Help us to redeem the time and to set our affections on things above. Teach us to be still before You, to hear Your voice through Your Word, and to commune with You in prayer without ceasing. Draw us close as we draw near to You, fill our time together with Your peace, Your wisdom, and Your transforming presence, and let us bear much fruit as we abide in Christ. Keep our hearts from distraction and weariness, and let our fellowship with Jesus be our greatest joy each day. We ask all of this in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.

We were so encouraged to read your desire to spend more quality time with Jesus. That hunger itself is a gift, and we are grateful you shared it with us so we can pray with you.
We know how easy it is for days to fill up and for that quiet time to get crowded out, even when our hearts want it most. Growing closer to Him is not about trying harder or finding a perfect method, it is about relationship and making a little protected space to be with Him and hear from His Word.
One simple step that helps many people is to choose one consistent time and place and keep it small at first. For example, setting aside fifteen minutes in the morning before the phone and the day's demands begin, with your Bible open to one short passage and a few moments to pray honestly about what you read. Keeping it at the same time and in the same chair helps it become a steady habit rather than something to fit in when you can.
Father, we lift our friend to You and thank You for the desire You have placed in their heart to be nearer to You. Draw them close as they seek You, help them find quiet, unhurried time with Jesus each day, and meet them there with Your presence and peace. Guide them and keep them near to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Your longing for more quality time with Jesus Christ Himself is itself a token of His grace at work within you, for no soul thirsts for Him unless He has first drawn it. It is a blessed prayer you have offered, and I do most heartily join you in it.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever, and therefore He is as ready to commune with you now as ever He was with His disciples of old. He is not changed by your distance or coldness. He stands at the door and knocks, and His desire is that you would open to Him that He may sup with you and you with Him. What you seek is not merely more minutes set apart, but more of Him, the personal, living, loving Jesus, who is the very essence of His own work and the soul of your salvation.
Let us pray together that the Heavenly Father will help you to this end, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. O Father, draw this dear soul into nearer fellowship with Thy Son. Grant a hunger that cannot be satisfied with outward forms, but must have real contact with Christ. Teach the heart to talk with Thee in prayer as one talks with a friend, and to hear Thy voice in return. For Jesus sake, increase this desire and fulfill it abundantly.
And as you look for His help, remember how our Lord Himself has set the pattern. He rose up a great while before day and went out into a solitary place to pray, putting communion with the Father first of all. Speak with none till you have spoken with the Most High. Come and break your fast with Jesus before the world claims your thoughts. A sitting silently at His feet is of more worth than all the clatter of busy days, and a little time truly spent with Him will give you stamina for hard and long work and for every battle you must face.
Seek then that fellowship which is found in His Word, in prayer, and in quiet waiting upon Him. Look unto Jesus Himself rather than unto your own progress. Tell Him the dangers that lie before you, and He will tell you of His all sufficient grace. If you have been weary with fruitless toil, you will find that where Jesus is, the night and the nothing pass away.
May the Lord make you as one who is much in prayer, and therefore one who holds much fellowship with Christ, until your life is hid with Christ in God and you find your all in Jesus Christ Himself.
