Iâve always interpreted âQuiet timeâ with God as just that - a solitary, silent place for me to connect with and wait on the Lord. Hands clasped, eyes closed, ssshhhâŠ. but Iâll be honest - that has always been very hard for me. My body becomes restless, and my mind starts to wander.
One day I just started praying while I was in full sweat mode at a bike cycling class. Gamechanger.
