Finding Solitude in a Busy World
In the hustle and bustle of our everyday routines, finding time for devotions can feel like a challenge. Imagine yourself, after a long day, craving a few moments of peace. Jesus often retreated to quiet places to pray (Luke 5:16), and we too are called to find our sanctuary.

Carve Out Moments: Start with five minutes a day and gradually increase this time as it becomes a part of your routine.

Create Your Space: Designate a peaceful area in your home for quiet reflection and prayer.

Start and End with Prayer: Begin your devotion time by seeking God’s guidance and end with thanksgiving.
