I read a bible verse daily do you? How do you keep close to God?

The first thing I do every morning when I get online is go to my bible verse of the day. To me it is my way of starting my day knowing I have God in my life. I have a couple places I go to read verses but I had not really thought about reading things like that here on mylot. I know at times this can be a very touchy subject because everyone seems to have a view on what they believe. I have to say that my morning bible verse is not the only time I talk to God or pray to Him as I do that a lot during my day. Without starting any bible wars here I am curious how others feel. Do you have a set time during the day you pray? Do you talk to God? I want to hear how you feel.

Simply a reading is not only sufficient thing for us. We will get good result only by doing good deeds.... Read bible....once daily.....Do favor for others more than once a day please... We should make our life enjoyable only by obeying others at their sins... Try to forgive others mistakes and guide them in a proper way that you follow.

I also believe that living what you read is the best of all. So we can assumed that in each of our activities there's God hands guiding you there. As it's written God Words is bread for our life which we need to consume in order to stay healthy in living and spend our time in this world which was given by Him.

When i wake up every morning i thank God for another day. I do not have set times...but i do talk to God through out the day. I try to read the Bible at least 1/2 hour every day. I also pray every night before i go to sleep.

HI I read my Bible every morning too. I never used to since a year ago. I have learned you always put God first and make time for him. Since I have been reading my Bible every morning I find it hard now not too. I also ask God to open my heart and help me to understand his word,for me it helps me to start my day on a positive note!

I try to make God first in the morning and then all day long. He is important in my life and I am am not perfect but I'm so glad He is. I want Him to guide my life and I know I don't always following His guidance, not because I don't want to. but the advisory is also trying to influence us and does not want us to follow God. Being human he knows just the right things to temp us with to make that happen. Having our thoughts on God and asking Him to guide us is a 24/7 thing. We can do it in just a moment with little things, a quick pray to ask with help when we do something, a quick guide to what to say when someone is hurting, a reminder that those we meet could be angels unaware. He is with us all day long, we just have to hook up with Him.You are on the right track and I'll pray for you and ask all of you to pray for me.

I have a bible reading system in my bible, where I read from the old and ew testament each morning before i even get online. I pray before i read the bible as I ask God to give me guidance, an also I pray for those on my prayer list. I find that reading the bible does draw me closer to God, as if i didn't have the bible or God in my life, I would totally be lost without either. God is so good and I want to sing his praises every day. Take care, and God bless you.
