Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your desire to spend more quality time with Jesus Christ is good and pleasing to God, and He delights to draw near to those who seek Him.
To spend quality time with Him means to set apart time for Him with purpose and love. Deck your inner life and your home with prayer, with reading Scripture, with quiet worship and with watchfulness, so that Christ may dwell there as a welcomed King. Go to Him continually, not only in great need but day by day, so that through prayer and His Word the stains and distractions of daily life are washed away and you find calm even in the midst of many waves. Make a regular place and time to meet with Him, keep your heart free from distraction in that time, and let it be unhurried listening as well as speaking.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we thank You that You have made a way for us to come near to You through Jesus Christ Your Son. We ask in the Name of Jesus Christ that You will help this dear one to spend more and more quality time with You. Give a hunger for Your presence, discipline to set aside time, and grace to keep it. Speak through Your Word, strengthen through prayer, and fill each moment together with Your peace and love. Lead into a deeper fellowship with Christ that bears fruit in daily life and brings glory to You. In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
