Finding God in the Middle of Your Real Life
“I want to spend more time with God… I’m just so busy.”
We’ve all said it.
Life gets loud. The days fill up. We mean well — but somehow quiet time with God becomes the first thing to go.
But connecting with God doesn’t require hours of solitude or perfectly planned studies.
It just requires intention — a willing heart and a little creativity.
Here are 3 simple ways to make time with God a daily habit — even in the middle of your real life.
1️⃣ Start Small
You don’t need an hour in the Word to start a habit.
Start with 5 minutes.
One verse.
One breath-prayer.
One moment of stillness.
“Come near to God and He will come near to you.”
— James 4:8
Small doesn’t mean insignificant.
It means sustainable. Start there — and let it grow.
2️⃣ Pair Time with Something You Already Do
Make your routine your rhythm of worship.
- Pray while folding laundry
- Listen to Scripture while driving
- Read one verse before checking your phone
- Whisper thanks as you wash dishes
These micro-moments become sacred when you invite God into them.
3️⃣ Keep It Simple & Show Up Daily
Don’t aim for perfection — aim for presence.
“Give us this day our daily bread.”
— Matthew 6:11
You don’t need a perfectly structured plan to connect with God.
You just need a heart that keeps coming back.
Even distracted prayers. Even tired devotionals. Even whispered “help me” moments — they all count.
Final Thoughts
God isn’t measuring the length of your devotion — He’s looking for the nearness of your heart.
Make space for Him — not just in the margins, but in the middle.
And watch how even small, daily moments turn into a beautiful rhythm of relationship.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, I want to spend more time with You,
but sometimes my day gets away from me.
Teach me to start small.
To invite You into my everyday routines.
And to trust that You’re just as present in my ordinary as You are in my Sunday worship.
Amen.
