Thank you for your Christ-praising blog and kind edifications. <BR/>And you are right; a habit can become more joyful to you, esp. this kind, as time goes on! <BR/>I know what Angela said is right also. :)<BR/>may Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134499568881813542.post-72520511379909041162008-08-09T12:26:00.000-04:002008-08-09T12:26:00.000-04:00Hannah,I'm sure God is pleased to see your desire ...Hannah,<BR/>I'm sure God is pleased to see your desire to be closer to Him. It's hard sometimes to find the discipline to spend this quiet time reading the Bible and praying, but I've found the more you make a habit out of it, the more you desire to do it. Thanks for commenting. I prayed for you today. :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745470127207480213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134499568881813542.post-62038633822814007922008-08-08T16:41:00.000-04:002008-08-08T16:41:00.000-04:00You encourage me greatly Stephanie.

I'll do better tomorrow..." <BR/><BR/>If I love Him--I would love to be near Him, to soak in His 'letters' and live for my special tiem with Him. <BR/><BR/>Hm. I'm learning. <BR/><BR/>Your sister, HannahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134499568881813542.post-44982813359117296592008-08-08T03:23:00.000-04:002008-08-08T03:23:00.000-04:00I'm in that spot too.

I've been a Believer long enough to know that we go through dry spells. It's part of what grows our Faith. Faith is trusting God even when your feelings don't line up. It is walking with Him even when your feelings aren't with the program.

You've made a great point - it's important to not let our emotions (lack of passion or "feeling" God's presence)decide whether or not we spend time with God. And being honest with Him is always good. :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745470127207480213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134499568881813542.post-13009179629036090582008-08-06T23:28:00.000-04:002008-08-06T23:28:00.000-04:00I always look forward to my quiet time, its just t...I always look forward to my quiet time, its just that sometimes I get there and I'm not at all focused or really feeling like I'm in the presence of God. I always want to be real before God, so I let him know that I'm not with it, and try to connect as much as I can.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863689063737934494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134499568881813542.post-58124345729419928282008-08-06T22:40:00.000-04:002008-08-06T22:40:00.000-04:00Hi Jennifer, I'm glad you were convicted, as I was...Hi Jennifer, <BR/>I'm glad you were convicted, as I was!<BR/>I'm finding that learning to have a quiet and worshipful heart before God is definitely a continuous process. But by His grace, we'll get there. :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745470127207480213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134499568881813542.post-86506703482221827132008-08-05T21:09:00.000-04:002008-08-05T21:09:00.000-04:00I'm Guilty!!

It was not my intention. However, looking at my time with God that is exactly what it has become-not only as a duty, but also as a way of learning. Like you said, it's great to learn, but loving Him is even more important! Great post!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733495237671457140noreply@blogger.com
