Marion,

Thank you for  this story.  What a beautiful expression of truth concerning a quiet time with God.

I started my quiet time a few years ago and have experienced most of what you wrote about.  God truly does bless us and desires a very intimate and personal relationship with us if we will simply make ourselves available to Him. 

Although God is always there for us and any time of day is appropriate for a quiet time, I have found that first thing in the morning is more peaceful.  Starting my day with God, before filling it with the cares of the day, enables me to better hear His voice.  David wrote in Psalm 5:3, "In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation." 

Many times I have found that a "15 Minute Breakthrough" is exactly what I needed.  I want to encourage everyone who knows the Lord to give it a try.

Why not first thing in the morning?

Blessings,                                                                                              Mark Weaver
