Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
Life moves in seasons, and when demands press in from every direction, the deliberate choice to make time for God becomes an act of quiet trust rather than perfect consistency. As space is given for Him within ordinary routines, guidance becomes personal, faith deepens, and hearts are shaped by direct experience instead of borrowed conviction.
Scripture
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”—Ecclesiastes 3:1
Quote
“The Lord knows you and loves you. He is your Savior and your Redeemer. He leads and guides His Church. He will lead and guide you in your personal life if you will make time for Him in your life—each and every day.”—Russell M. Nelson, “Make Time for the Lord”

Living the Principle: Make Time for God
- Establish one consistent space or practice that signals reverence, such as opening the scriptures before turning to a phone or beginning decisions with silent prayer, allowing God to be part of the order of your life rather than an afterthought. This creates a rhythm that honors spiritual priorities even when circumstances shift.
- Seek personal spiritual experiences by engaging God directly instead of relying solely on others’ insights, recording impressions, questions, and moments of clarity as they come. Over time, this practice builds confidence in recognizing His voice and trusting guidance that is uniquely yours.
- Align commitments with eternal purposes by evaluating which activities draw you closer to God and which quietly crowd Him out. Choosing to simplify, set boundaries, or say no when needed becomes a faithful act that preserves space for divine influence.
