196 – How do you make room for God in your life?With all the busyness of today's world and the demands of daily life, it's sometimes hard to find the time to make space for one-on-one time with God.In this week's episode, I chat with author Tommy Thompson about how he has discovered ways to benefit from creating spaces in your life to be with God.Tommy says the best way to do this is start with small steps making room for God in your life. It could be just 10 more minutes of prayer each morning. And it's important to be consistent. Even if there's a day or two where you may not feel connected to God in your prayers, the consistent practice of making room for God will have a long term effect.Here are some of the questions I asked Tommy. You'll love his straight forward and practical answers.Why is it important to create space in your life for God? What practical steps can we take to de-clutter our minds and hearts from external distractions? How do you prioritize your day and find what is truly important? How can slowing down and creating space be more impactful than rushing through tasks? How has this impacted your personal life and relationship with God? Why is consistency important in connecting with God? What's the difference between chronos time and kairos time, and why is kairos moments are so important? These are just a few of the things we talked about.To read all the Scripture references in this episode, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/196 and scroll all the way to the bottom.
