Many of you are probably thinking you don’t have 10 minutes to spend, but I know that if you really looked at your day, you could do it. We believe in you and we know that once you see the benefit of having an intimate relationship with God, you will want more than 15 minutes a day with him. If you haven’t been praying every day, it may seem a little intimidating to do, but that’s OK, you are not the first one that’s felt that way and you won’t be the last. But most things that are worth having aren’t easy at first, but the more you do it, the easier it gets.
Some of you may be asking, how do we do this? One way is to use a daily devotional. There are many fantastic ones out there including, ‘365 Devotions for Catholics’. A daily devotional will not only benefit those of you that are new to developing a personal relationship with the Lord, but also those of you that already have a deep relationship with him. Find one that will give you a bible verse and then some thoughts on that verse. Start by reading this and spend some time thinking about it. Talk to God about it, discuss it with others if you feel comfortable doing that. Keep your mind open and listen to what the Lord has to say to you.
