Let’s be honest, life can feel like a whirlwind. Between work, family, errands, and everything else on our to-do lists, it’s easy to feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. And sometimes, in the busyness, our time with God can slip down the priority list. But here’s the thing: our relationship with God is the foundation that helps us navigate all those busy moments. Finding time for Him doesn’t have to be overwhelming—it’s about weaving Him into our daily rhythms in simple, meaningful ways.

Start with Intention

The first step is deciding that time with God is a priority. It doesn’t mean you need to spend hours in deep study every day (though that’s wonderful if you can!). It’s about being intentional with the time you have, whether it’s five minutes in the morning or a quick prayer while you’re waiting in the carpool line. Small, consistent moments of connection can make all the difference in your spiritual growth and peace of mind.

Find Pockets of Time

When life feels busy, finding large chunks of time can seem impossible. Instead, look for those smaller moments in your day. Maybe it’s listening to worship music during your commute, reading a verse or two during your lunch break, or journaling your prayers before bed. These little pockets of time, when added together, can help you stay connected to God throughout the day.

Incorporate God into Everyday Tasks

One of the most beautiful ways to make time for God is by inviting Him into what you’re already doing. Pray while you’re folding laundry, recite scripture while cooking dinner, or talk to Him during a walk. By turning everyday tasks into opportunities to connect with God, you’re keeping Him at the center of your busy life.

Set a Routine that Works for You

Consistency is key, but your routine doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Maybe mornings are hectic, but evenings are calmer, so you choose to do your Bible study after the kids are in bed. Or maybe you prefer shorter, more frequent moments of prayer throughout the day. The point is to find a rhythm that fits your life, so it feels natural and sustainable.

Give Yourself Grace

It’s important to remember that this journey isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress and connection. There will be days when you miss your quiet time or feel like you didn’t spend enough time with God. That’s okay. God’s love for you doesn’t depend on your schedule or routine. When you fall short, simply start fresh the next day.

Why It Matters

Making time for God isn’t just about checking a box—it’s about building a relationship. When we prioritize time with Him, we’re reminded of His presence in every part of our lives. That connection helps us navigate challenges, find peace in the chaos, and live with a sense of purpose and direction.

Let’s Start Today

If you’ve been struggling to make time for God, know that you’re not alone. We all have busy seasons, but the important thing is to start where you are. Take a moment today to pause, pray, and invite Him into your schedule. Whether it’s a quick devotional, a heartfelt prayer, or just sitting quietly in His presence, those moments matter.

Life will always be busy, but making time for God can transform even the busiest days into moments filled with peace and purpose. It’s not about fitting God into a perfectly planned schedule—it’s about inviting Him into the chaos, the quiet, and everything in between. Start small, stay consistent, and trust that God will meet you right where you are.

So, let’s take this first step together. Today, set aside just five minutes to pray, open your Bible, or sit quietly in His presence. Share in the comments how you’ve found time for God in your daily life or what small change you’re planning to make. Let’s encourage each other as we grow closer to Him, one moment at a time.

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” – Matthew 6:33
