7 Creative Ways To Spend Time With God Even When You’re Short On Time!

7 Creative Ways To Spend More Time With God Everyday Even When You’re Short On Time!

Spending time with God is always important but right now, with how crazy the world seems, it feels even more vital. 

But even as essential as it is to spend quality time with God, it still seems like so much of life gets in the way of this happening. 

In our busyness, our time with our heavenly Father gets pushed to the side in favor of “more pressing” things.

We’ll say “I’ll do my study tomorrow” and then 10 tomorrows go by and we still haven’t spent any time with the Lord. 

So what’s a Christian woman with a busy schedule supposed to do?

We could say no more often but if you’ve already committed to long-term, time-consuming commitments, it’s a bad witness to abandon your responsibilities. 

You need some creative ideas that can help you spend more time with Jesus whether it be in prayer, Bible study, through worship and singing, Bible journaling, etc. 

Being alone with God on a frequent basis is one of the best ways to obtain the spiritual growth that God wants us to have (and that we want too).

Alone time with God is one of the most important aspects of Christian living.

That’s why I’ve come up with some unique ways to spend more time with Jesus even when you’re short on time!

These are ideas that you probably haven’t considered.

In fact, some of the ideas are a little outside of the box so to speak so you’ll have to be a little open-minded with me here 🙂

None of these ideas are meant to take the place of a true deep dive Bible study.

But they will still help you stay connected to the Father because you’ll be spending time with Him throughout the day. 

Okay now, let’s go ahead and get started.

9 Items For Your Calming Anti-Anxiety Toolbox To Help Boost Your Mental Health On The Go!

Mini Calming Anti-Anxiety Toolbox  To Help Boost Your Mental Health On The Go!

1 Corinthians 7:32

“I want you to be free from anxieties.”

Oh man… we want this so badly, don’t we? To be free of anxiety and worry sounds amazing, doesn’t it?

But if I’m being honest, it also sounds elusive.

Like something that we might never have. With the news being at an unprecedented
level of stressfulness (yes I just made up a word), it’s hard to imagine that being free
from anxiety can be an actual “thing”.

I don’t want you to feel this way though.

You can fight and overcome anxiety.

Or at the very least you can reduce anxiety so much that it doesn’t rule your life and rob you of your joy.

The plan God has for your life will start to unfold before you once you stop letting fear and anxiety control you.

What you need is a kit of calming tools and strategies that you can turn to whenever anxiety starts to overcome you.

When you build this kit, you can use it to stop anxiety in its tracks (or greatly reduce it).

Arm yourself with these calming tools so you can have them at your disposal whenever you are in a stressful situation or you know you are able to go into an anxiety-inducing situation.

They will help you cope with whatever comes your way!

The beautiful thing about this mental health toolbox is that you can use this wherever you are…In the car, at work, on vacation, or at home.

And even your kids could use them if they suffer from mental health issues!

Or you could create one to give as a gift to someone you know who struggles with anxiety!

So let’s get started ya’ll!
