Throughout our day we have moments that we often forget to praise God. We forget that He is always with us and always protecting us. We do not always give Him the praise that He deserves. Here are some things to do throughout the day to spend your time more intentionally with God.
Start Your Day With Him
With the advancement in technology, the majority of us have fallen into the routine of checking our phones from the moment that we open our eyes. If you attempt to break this habit and instead use your time by spending it with God, you will grow your relationship with Him. Read your Bible for a few minutes and listen to worship music and thank Him for giving you another day to live.
Pray Intentionally
It is easy to just say a quick meaningless prayer when you feel like it is something that you have to do. If you feel like prayer is an obligation, it will become a chore and will not be something you enjoy or truly mean. He wants to spend time with you and wants to hear from you, so pray intentionally and tell Him the things that you are going through and the things you are thankful for. He has given you life and is deserving of all praise.
Write Down Things You Are Thankful For
Instead of just listing things in your head that you are thankful for, write them down. Put this list where you can see it and where it will be a constant reminder of the good things that God has given you in your life.
Notice Your Complaints and Turn Them Into Praise
As humans, we complain a lot. We complain about any small inconvenience and anything that gets in our way in the slightest. If you are more intentional and notice when you are complaining, take a second to stop and try to reverse that complaint and turn it into a praise, something that you are thankful for.
Enjoy God’s Creation
Whenever you are outside, take the time to notice the beautiful scenery outdoors. Notice God’s creation and everything He has made. He made the earth for us to live on. He cares for every living thing that He created, take the time to appreciate it more and thank Him for His creation.
Love Others
Whenever we are upset with other people, it is hard to love them. Make an intentional effort to love others in every situation and to shine God’s light upon them. Be the positive, godly influence that other people need, especially those who do not know the Lord.
Love Yourself
In our world today, self-love has become something that almost everyone seems to struggle with. As college students we have a difficult time taking care of our health both physically and mentally. God loves you so much and does not want you to feel bad about yourself. He made you in His image and wants you to love yourself as much as He loves you.
