Wow, your "God Time" sounds wonderful ! I don't think it's too personal- not for me anyways.
I like to hear about how you set aside time to focus only on the Lord. One of my former pastors created a 'prayer room' in every home he had. Your routine seems alot like that. It was a place of seclusion and quiet where one could go and seek God without any outside distractions.
I have the radio on all day- set to a great Christian station. I take a radio outside when I'm doing yardwork too. I listen to preaching and wonderful music for much of my day. I'm a singer- and enjoy a wide variety of secular music too but I typically incorporate what I hear on Christian radio as a part of my private worship time.
I don't have just one place or way that I pray but I do start and end each day with prayer. When I'm home alone during the day I randomly take some time for worship-to sing and pray aloud. It's great to have the house to myself this way. I have rather high ceilings that makes for great acoustics- so I'm quite sure that anyone outside or maybe even next door can hear me singing. ;-)
When I am praying I take different postures depending on what I feel in my spirit- that God would like- or what _I_ need to do, such as prayer or worship with my hands raised, kneeling or just sitting quietly outside on my porch etc etc. I like to spend time in prayer and 'silent worship' at the beach or in a garden or park. I enjoy being outside and observing God's creation.
Thank you so much, namommy- for sharing about your 'God Time' with us.
Thank you for sharing your focus on having a close relationship with God, rather than practicing mere religion.
