One thing you'd notice is that my Coffee & Cozy's aren't always pray, read & study then pray again. So what pops into my mind first is don't let it be boring because you are building a relationship here! If you are longing for something new in your personal times with God, below are 22 ideas to try:
- RELOCATE: find new places all the time to have them! watch the sunrise or sunset, find a hill that overlooks a valley nearby, go to a park, sit under a tree, create a cozy corner in your home
- WORSHIP: buy Christian concerts videos or worship songs so that sometimes you can jam out or sit quietly
- STUDY: grab an inspiring book to help you (devotional, poetry...)
- ENCOURAGE: pick about 5 people, pray for them, then search for verses and encourage them by sending them text messages or making them cards
- PARTNER: ask another woman if you can have a time with God together
- BOOST: go on a prayer walk or run around you neighborhood and pray specifically for the people and homes you pass by
- GROW: pick one verse, meditate on it and memorize it
- SHARE: for one week, share what you learn each day with someone new
- TEACH: write a short study on an attribute of God's character
- RELAX: have a picnic with God during your lunch break, read and pray
- FILL: walk through your home and pray in each room
- LEARN: listen to an online message and journal
- IMAGINE: go out after dark and spend some time reflecting on stories you've read about Jesus
- WALK: take a nature walk and meditate on how to continue to grow in your 'walk' with God
- FEED: go bird watching or buy some feed and go provide for some birds; reflect of verses like Luke 12:24 or Matthew 6:26-34
- RESEARCH: go through some of the post in my 'studies' section. Some interesting ones back in January and early in the blog :)
- TALK: lay on the floor or curl up in a chair and simply talk to God about things you are going through right now
- DREAM: spend time dreaming about what it will be like when Christ returns then find scriptures!
- CARRY: pick one verse, write it down, meditate on it then carry it with you ALL day long - read it whenever you get the chance
- DRIVE: get up, get ready and get out the door. take a prayer drive!
- RECEIVE: find an app that reads the bible to you and sit quietly to listen
- GIVE: pray for all the people on the prayer list from church
