how I'm learning to spend time with God (5 practical ways)

Honestly, one way I love just spending time with God is going outside. Like it’s so simple but just looking around at his beautiful creation and seeing the birds and clouds above me just really puts me into this state of worship to him and allows me to just relax and be at peace in his presence. I will also pray and just talk to him about whatever is on my mind and he just listens, it’s so beautiful. I think I need to keep up with this and I encourage others to do it aswell. What I need to work on though is allowing time for me to be silent and listen to God too.

Having a mindful routine in the morning and before you go to bed helps with staying connected with God

I noticed when I gave up listening to secular music many things that I used to feel and say, (anger, depression, cussing, etc) I no longer felt to say or do as much. God helped me through those issues but music was my everything there was a time when I put music before God. When I gave up listening to mainstream artists, I started to understand what you listen to starts to carry into your daily life. When I stopped listening to secular music, I noticed that I would get fewer crazy dreams, sleep paralysis, get less annoyed and angry, etc. I still listen to music now but I listen to more gospel/ Christian music that sounds the same as ‘regular’ music they’re just talking about God.

I know a digital fast is not even a consideration for some people but I just want to say, no social media + living with God, is a whole different life and it is beautiful. Truly amazing and you feel Gods presence and His voice so much more when every quiet moment in your life isn’t spent on your phone. Your phone is a portal out of real life and Gods presence

I recommend going on quiet walks or bike rides while talking to god or listening for him. Not only does this help clear your head and get you sunlight, but taking walks help transition into quite time a little easier :)) God bless you on your journey! also your editing style is sickkk

My favorite way to spend to time with God is by singing to Him. It’s been harder and harder to do so recently but singing Him a song of how I feel or of how great He is from to top of my head has always brought me comfort

Honestly, talking to him just like he’s a friend is really good. I’m not consistent in it at all but talking to God is like just let him know about your day and just taking is really good. I get distracted very easily and I tend to go do other things, like I’ll watch TikTok anime YouTube for a long time, but I’m trying to talk to him more

Book I recommend is “the ruthless elimination of hurry”. Our culture is completely against the pace of God, so we don’t realize how often we are moving too fast or unaware that we miss God.

My favorite way to spend time with God is writing to him in my journal /prayer journal or even talking to him wherever I'm at. Communicating and expressing my feelings to God has helped me so much as a believer and has helped me build my relationship with him.

Having a morning routine, night routine, journaling, and meditating for awareness and also meditating with God's presence is a good start!👍

Thank you for sharing! I find myself being spirit led most times when I spend time with God. Sometimes God will ask me to pray in the spirit, journal, read his word, watch a video that has a word for me, listen to a sermon, read the Bible or even lead me to a specific scripture. One thing that’s improved my relationship with the Lord is just acknowledging him in everything. I talk to him as if he’s in front of me and I pray that he gives me the desires of his heart so that I may follow his will not mine.

Turing on “Soaking in his presence”, music ( I recommend William Augusto) Be careful because it can make you tired if your doing it late in the day😂. But when your reading the Bible or in that silence turn on that music and purposely take time out to just hear God. You become overcome with so much peace and your mind goes on auto pilot and allows God to really just speak to you . And giving the Holy Spirit the opportunity to wash over you. And it gives you a good habit of talking to God in your mind because we’re not always in the setting to talk to God outloud. God bless whoever might be reading ❤

I used to struggle with pornography aswell but the way I overcame it is not just by just inviting God into my life, but making God my life. I started praying, and studying the word more consistently and regularly, and I realised that when you do that you dont even have that urge to watch it, your not even tempted. Which I think connects to Romans 13:14 and Galatians 5:16 really well. Hope this helps. Stay Blessed❤❤

You version Bible Plans have changed my life. Helps me be consistent daily in applying God word to my life. I like to write him love letters every morning expressing my adoration and love for him.

I was literally talking to God and asking Him what I can do to spend more time with Him like I used to because I haven't been in his presence for a long time and then this video is recommended for me to watch , thank you Jesus

I go on walks without my phone. No distractions, just me, my thoughts and God. I talk to him like he's physically with me on the walk and I get into lots of topics. Asking him for advice, appreciating him for the scenery he created, declaring good things over my life in His name etc

One of my favorite ways to spend time with God is on a prayer walk there's something so beautiful about nature and I almost feel closer to God outside because of how much care he put into his creation and ultimately all of us .......

I love how there was no background music playing while you were talking. It helped keep me attentive and mindful. I Love YouTubers who don’t overstimulate me

Bro, I get that. I’m 40, been Saved since Childhood and STILL inconsistent with spending time with God, still running to distractions, but I’m crying out for more of God and other things that actually matter. I get it. Thanks. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ God put two “spending time with God” vids on my screen today now. Been asking Him to help, so there ya go!

I’ll literally just yapp to him until my mouth get dry and read my bible and listen to some worship music 😂😂 and try to invite him into most of my activities I can be shopping for a example I’ll be like God what else I should get or I can be doing a test I’ll ask him to help me..just invite him in everything you do ❤❤❤
