more quality time with Jesus Christ

We rejoice with you in this beautiful desire to spend more and more quality time with our Lord Jesus Christ, for this is the very heart of our faith and the place where we are transformed and strengthened.
The Scripture tells us to draw near to God, and he will draw near to you James 4:8, and that when we seek Him with our whole heart we will find Him. You will seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart Jeremiah 29:13. Our Heavenly Father delights when His children long to be in His presence, to be still and know that He is God Psalm 46:10, and to remain in Christ as a branch remains in the vine John 15:4.
We understand how the busyness of life, distractions, and weariness can crowd out that quiet time, but the Lord calls us to seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness Matthew 6:33, and He promises that all we need will be added as we put Him first. Jesus Himself taught us, But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret Matthew 6:6. That secret place of prayer, of reading His Word which is a lamp to our feet and a light for our path Psalm 119:105, and of simply waiting upon Him, is where our love for Him grows deeper.
We encourage you to set apart a consistent time each day, even if it begins small, to be alone with Him without hurry. Come with an open Bible, a willing heart to listen as well as to speak, and a desire to behold His beauty. 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. As you remain faithful in this, He will help you to love that time more and to guard it joyfully.
We join our faith with yours now and pray together.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the hunger You have placed in this dear heart to be closer to You. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ that You will draw this one ever nearer, and help them to spend more and more quality time with You each day. Give grace to rise and seek You early, to turn aside from distractions, and to find delight in Your presence and in Your Word. Quiet the noise around them, renew their strength as they wait upon You, and let them hear Your still small voice with clarity. Fill this time together with Your peace, Your wisdom, and Your love, and cause their life to bear much fruit as they remain in Christ. We ask that You make their fellowship with Jesus the greatest joy of their life and the source of all they need. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, amen.

I know a way of doing this, bascially every time after a while when I remember, I force myself to go and spend time with Jesus, just thanking him for being so merciful to me and us even though we are the scum of the earth, and I think of how majestic he is, and I also think of people I can preach the gospel to, I want to preach the gospel to the people who bullied me in my school and stuff, I just want to pray that you have a good week because I care about you, and I also pray that Jesus will help you spend more quality time with Jesus,
but if you don't mind I haven't read my bible a lot, instead I have been praying, please pray that I can be able to force myself to read my bible, it's a new KJV so it's hard to understand (but that's probably an excuse)

We are so thankful you shared this desire to spend more quality time with Jesus. Wanting more of Him is a beautiful place to be, and we are glad to stand with you in it.
We know that desire can feel stretched by busy days and distractions. Quality time often grows not by adding pressure, but by making a small, steady space that you can keep. One simple way we have seen help is to choose one consistent time and place that is realistic for this season, even ten or fifteen minutes, and keep it protected. Bring your Bible, read a short portion slowly, and talk with the Lord honestly about what you read and what is on your heart. If mornings are crowded, a lunch break or quiet evening can work just as well. Consistency matters more than length.
We are praying that the Lord makes that time refreshing and draws you closer as you meet with Him. We will keep praying for that daily fellowship to deepen in the weeks ahead.
Father, we thank You for this hunger for more of You. Draw our friend close as they seek You, help them find a steady rhythm to be with Jesus, and make that time sweet and life giving. Keep them near to Christ each day. In Jesus name, amen.

Your longing to spend more quality time with Jesus Christ is itself a gracious work of the Heavenly Father in your heart, for it is His desire to bring His disciples into union and communion with His Son.
We will pray that the Lord will help you to put prayer first of all, as your Master did who rose up a great while before day and went out into a solitary place to pray. Speak with none till you have spoken with the Most High. Go not to your labor with your loins ungirt with the girdle of devotion. The Lord who knew better than any that the spirit of prayer is the main thing, yet retired into desert places to maintain the act and exercise of prayer, will teach you to love that same holy exercise. To sit silently at the feet of Jesus is of more worth than all the clatter of this busy world.
We pray that you may know what it is to have fellowship with Christ in the communion of conversation, for in prayer rightly offered you talk with God and Christ talks with you. You tell Him the dangers that lie before you and He tells you of the shield of Omnipotence with which He guards you. He invites you still, Come and break your fast. Many a battle has been lost because the soldiers were not in good condition for the fight. You need stamina if you are to do hard and long work for Him, and that strength comes from a feast with Jesus Himself, not merely from reading or hearing or kneeling in outward form, but from inward touching of His blessed Person by faith.
And as you come, let your prayer and supplication be perfumed with thanksgiving. Always must we offer prayer with thanksgiving, and its wings must be silvered over with praise. If you are in Christ you have already obtained Christ Jesus to be yours, and He who spared not His own Son will deny you nothing that is for your good. In everything let your requests be made known unto God with thanksgiving, and the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. That conscious calm, that divine serenity, is not produced by prayer alone, but by prayer with thanksgiving.
So let us pray together. Heavenly Father, we thank You for this hunger for Your Son. Draw this dear soul into deeper society and partnership with Jesus Christ our Lord. Give grace to seek Him early, to linger long with Him, to hear His voice in the Word and to answer in prayer. Grant more and more quality time with Him, not as a duty only but as a delight, and let that communion bear fruit in renewed faculties, in likeness to Christ, and in abiding peace. We ask this in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday and today and forever, and in whom we have life. Amen.
