Things like to distract me and I like to give in. Francis Chan's book "Crazy Love" def put quiet time in a new perspective for me. Check it out if u haven't already.

It's ironic how "free and easy" salvation is, but sometimes, serving can be so difficult. First you have to battle the flesh and the old nature, then you have to do the balancing act between reaching out to the world and serving Him. When I focus on ministering to the Lord, making time for Him in my daily life, the reaching the world part seems to fall into place, do a large degree. It's easy to get caught up in doing the "stuff", but I have found that when I focus totally on the Lord, opportunities to minister to "the world" actually starts to flow more easily. @ktackel, I totally understand/agree.

God bless! Yes, it is awfully easy to get "too busy" for God… and if that happens, it can have serious consequences in our lives. God bless!

I will definitely be praying for you in this regard. I think that this is an area where we all struggle from time to time. I will definitely be praying for you in this regard.

I have found, that if I don't make time for the Lord on a daily basis, I feel like I don't belong, and have no meaning here in life. I have, through the promptings from guys in my small group, started to make time at 4am, due to a hectic schedule otherwise. These are the best times during the day for me currently, and where I get my inspiration for the day. Without this I would not have the relationship with God I have today. I agree wholeheartedly.
