Here are some tips on how to start a daily devotional habit each day:
• Pick a time of day when you won’t be distracted and stick to it.
• Pick a place where you feel comfortable and can be alone for a few minutes.
• Pick a book or devotional that speaks to you.
• Have a notebook, and take notes when God speaks to you.
• Look for some Scripture that relates to your life or situation.
• Settle in community by joining a Bible study group or finding an accountability partner.
• Keep it up by making it a priority and not letting other things get in the way.
• Give thanks for the opportunity to spend time with God each day.

You are awesome 
Dariush, in answer to your query/prompt: I keep a conversational journal of interactions between God and me. He often speaks to me by bringing to mind scriptures I have stored away in my heart. (For that to work, one has to have some of the word in there.) I find that if I honor the conversation by recording it, more comes from the shared time.

That is a good idea! Keep a recording of every conversation with God! The answers and the words.
Thanks Jon, for encouraging us. That’s great.

Here’s what I do. I read in two places, from the Psalms and reading through the Bible, rotating from the Old Testament and New Testament. So I will read all of Genesis, then I will read in Matthew. But I don’t read very much at a time. And I let the time I have determine how much I read each day. I usually read from the Old or New testament for about seven minutes, then the psalms for about four minutes. then last I pray for five or six minutes–but I always end up praying for longer than that. Oh, I usually take notes on what I read and how God is speaking to me. So my quiet times are generally about 15 minutes. I know that’s kind of short, but I try to make it quality time with the Lord, and try never to miss a day.

Having quality time matters. That’s great covering both, old and new testament in 15 mins plus prayer 🛐. Did it happen a time God hold you longer in his presence Stephen?

Yes, I like going longer, but it seems that I am always in a rush to get to work on time, so I think a short time is better than nothing. saturdays may be longer.
