MAKE TIME TO MEET
With the busyness of life the most essential thing, meeting with God, can be neglected. It is a very important and integral element for direction of your day. Neglecting that time can cause chaos and frustration. Many stressful situations could be avoided if time was taken to meet with God before you begin your day.
Schedule God on your calendar- I do! Pen (not pencil) Him on the schedule, and Keep your appointment with Him. Early in the morning is recommended and throughout the day when time permits. The blessings and rewards is worth the sacrifice. Once you begin, it will be a delight rather than a chore-Pleasure instead of pressure! Be consistent so it can become a part of you. Practice makes permanent.
While we know the throne of our hearts, is God's dwelling place, It is also very important to make room to meet with God. Whether your choose a closet, a room, balcony or corner, get a place that you can consecrate as your place to meet. It gives you a sense of connection and allows you to become aware of your appointment and constant reminder.
God time and God space becomes "me time, and special moments for me! It allows me to talk to God about things I can't or don't want to share with anyone else. It also encourages you to read God's word. God reveals Himself to you through the Spirit. Revelations and deep spiritual connections happen in those times. It is wise to do it early in the morning and last thing in the night. You will find like I have many times, that God will wake you up with a word of meditation for the day.
The movie, War Room is strongly recommended as an encouragement for your to begin creating a God Space. Along with that read the book, Fervent, by Priscilla Shirer. You will be encouraged to start a journey that you will want to share with others.
Creating a God space doesn't have to be an entire room. If you don't have the extra room in your home, you can create a God space that you can dedicate to your time of prayer, worship, meditation and reflection time with God. Prayer walks are also recommended early or late afternoons.
Think on the men and women of the bible whose prayer habits have given them the victory. Men like Daniel who had a special routine and time when he prayed-His story and success teaches us that prayers are stored and become available when needed. It is important that you deposit your prayers so you can withdraw in trying times. Begin today, and create your God space!

TODAY'S FOCUS: HOW TO CREATE A GOD SPACE
Your God space allows you to connect daily with the Lord. Get creative, decorate with plants, pictures or inspirational plaques. Make sure you have your bible, journals, devotional, prayer request/note book, pens, markers, stickers, prayer cards, anointing oil, prayer shawl or blanket. Don't clutter your space or put things that would distract you or disturb your intimacy with God, but you could include anything that would create an atmosphere of peace/serenity and allow you to enjoy His presence. You can include a C/D player for soft worship music or instrumental background music, tranquil waterfall, and a prayer board!
Your God space can be stationary or mobile. You can decide whether you want it inside or outside of the home. You can also chose to have your God space in the home and have a prayer walk moment or garden refreshing session!
