We’re continuing our study of the building blocks. Have you completed your Soul Care Plan for 2017?  .Soul Care Plan Link Today’s topic is building block “Q”, for Quiet Time.

Today’s scripture: Mark 1:35 NRSV – In the morning, while it was still very dark, Jesus got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed. 

As you read the scripture and watch the video below, consider: What might God be saying to me? Summarize your thoughts in a sentence or two.

My thoughts (David Zier):

Today’s Be Still is different. It is on the instructional side about Quiet Time, but it very practical. Pastor Francis Chan discusses Quiet Time in ways that might open up some avenues to expand and create a bigger space for God as you begin your day, and as you journey through it. Take the time to watch the video, and think about what might help you deepen your relationship with God.

Thought for the day: What’s keeping you from Quiet Time with God, and deepening your relationship with Christ?

We encourage you to include a time of prayer with this reading. If you need a place to get started, consider the guidelines on the How to Pray page.
