Our schedules can get really busy during the week—between school, activities, and everything else going on. And honestly, sometimes we just feel tired and want to rest. But even in the middle of all that, we still need to make time for God in our everyday lives. If we only focus on work, school, and relaxing, and never pause to be with God, little by little we start pushing Him out without even realizing it.
The Bible even tells us how important this is. In Joshua 1:8 (NLT), it says, “Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.” This shows us that God wants us to stay in His Word daily—not just once in a while. When we read and study His Word the way He tells us, it becomes a part of us and helps guide how we live.
Another scripture reminds us to be careful with how we spend our time. Ephesians 5:15-16 (ESV) says, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.” We also have to remember that we have an enemy who wants to pull us away from God’s plan for our lives. This verse shows us that we have to actually choose to spend time with God and not just let the whole day go by without thinking about Him.
When we spend time in prayer and read our Heavenly Father’s Word, it will help us stay close to Him. It helps us to grow stronger spiritually and to recognize what the enemy is trying to do, so we can be wise and not fall into it.
As someone who is still in school, I get tired after a long day, and sometimes I just want to go home and relax. But I try to make it a priority to talk to God throughout my day. I also read a chapter of the Bible on the bus before and after school. This small effort shows God that I care about spending time with Him and growing in my relationship with Him. It may not seem like a lot, but these little moments really do matter.
In the end, every day we should always make time for God, whether it’s through prayer, fasting, or reading His Word. Even small moments matter more than we think. We just have to remember that God is always there, waiting for us to talk to Him. He truly loves us, and He wants to spend time with us.
