›› Separate Prayer and Bible Study

Keep your prayer time and Bible-study time separate. Some of us have been trained to structure our “devotions” with prayer and Bible study. It’s been my experience that when I bring quarterlies, commentaries, and multiple translations of the Bible into my devotional time, I spend little time in prayer and much more time in study. Prayer is primarily meeting with God. Reading and studying during this time may not always be required. Whether you’re just being quiet with Him or focusing on your own needs, you’re still meeting with Him. This is NOT wasted time.
