Devotions

Devotions are the most important part of our lives. It is our time to talk to God and really let Him know how we really feel when we can't tell anyone else our problems. It is also a time to allow our Heavenly Father to speak to us and to guide our lives in the direction we need to go.

All this is very true, but why does it seem so hard to do our devotions sometimes? I mean, sometimes I am SO happy to spend time with God, and other times it feels more like a chore than a joy. I know we have all been there, especially me.

I don't know if this helps any but, it does help me some. I have learned some things that may help other people ( and myself especially) to not get so bored.

- Change up the way ou do your devotions. Don't just do the same things and stay in the same routine. This, for me personally ,is where I get bored with m devotions the most. I think you should have structure. I mean don't just open up yoiur Bible to the first thing you see and start reading, but maybe switch thing around like read and then pray or vice versa.

-Also, my friend and I used to call each other every morning for the longest time, and we woiuld have a little devotional and just talk, and then we would pray. It would for only about 15-20 minutes at the most, but it started the day off right, and was just refreshing to hear another person tell about what God was doing in their life.

Maybe that isn't the best way of doing devotions, and maybe ou have other ways of doing our own devotions. Please let me know what you do that helps you the
most.
