Hey there,
Life gets busy. Some days feel like a blur—wake up, get things done, care for others, and somehow try to find time for ourselves. It’s easy to forget about God’s Word in the middle of all this. But I’ve found that the Bible isn’t just for Sundays or quiet mornings. It can be part of everything—every day, every moment.
In this post, I want to share how I get closer to God daily. I’m not a pastor or a Bible expert—just a woman trying to stay close to God while balancing real life. I hope these ideas help you feel connected, even on your busiest days.
1. Start Your Morning with One Verse
I used to think I needed 30 minutes of Bible study to “connect” with God. But when my son was born, I realized that even one verse can change my day. Now, I read just one Bible verse in the morning.
Some days, I write it on a sticky note. On other days, I save it as my phone wallpaper. The goal is simple—start the day with God’s truth.
This verse reminds me that God is kind, and He wants to guide me. Even when I’m tired or rushed, one verse like this helps me feel grounded.
2. Make Scripture Visible
What we see often affects how we think. That’s why I’ve started placing Bible verses around my home.
- A verse on the bathroom mirror
- A verse next to my laptop
- A small frame with scripture near the door
These small touches help me remember God’s Word as I go about my day. I don’t have to stop everything—I just glance up and feel comforted.
You can also write a verse in your planner or journal. I do this once a week, and it keeps my focus on what matters.
3. Pray While Doing Everyday Tasks
I’ve learned to turn simple tasks into prayer time. Washing dishes? I pray for my family. Folding laundry? I thank God for His provision. Taking a walk? I talk to God about how I’m feeling.
This verse always felt impossible until I realized it doesn’t mean constant talking—it means always being connected. God hears me when I whisper a few words while cooking or breathe a quiet “thank you” during a busy day.
Try it. Talk to Him while driving, cleaning, or grocery shopping. He’s always listening.
4. Use Your Phone to Get Closer to God
Our phones are always with us, so why not use them to stay spiritually grounded?
My favorite ways:
- Set a daily Bible verse reminder
- Follow a Christian Instagram page
- Listen to short devotionals or podcasts
- Use a Bible verse wallpaper with a “verse of the day”
Instead of scrolling aimlessly, I try to spend a few minutes reading something that lifts my soul. One verse can shift my whole mindset.
5. Share God’s Word with Others
Faith isn’t meant to be kept inside. When I share a verse with a friend—or even post it online—it strengthens my own faith too.
Sometimes I text a Bible verse to someone going through a hard time. Other times, I talk about what I read during a coffee chat.
You don’t have to preach—just share what’s on your heart. A simple “this verse helped me today” can be more powerful than you know.
6. End the Day with Reflection
At the end of each day, I take five minutes to reflect. I ask myself:
- What am I thankful for?
- When did I feel God’s peace today?
- Is there a verse that speaks to what I went through?
I write short prayers in my journal. Nothing fancy—just honest words from my heart.
This practice has helped me sleep better and feel more at peace. I stop focusing on what went wrong and focus instead on what God has done.
7. Choose a Weekly Theme Verse and Get Closer To God
Each week, I pick one Bible verse to guide me. I pray over it, think about it, and let it shape how I live.
For example:
Week 1:
Week 2:
One verse. One focus. One week. It helps me grow slowly but surely.
8. Celebrate Small Wins
Don’t aim for perfection. Some days you’ll forget to read a verse. On other days, you’ll get distracted. That’s okay.
The goal isn’t to be perfect—it’s to be present with God.
Celebrate small wins:
- You prayed in the car? That counts.
- You read one verse on your lunch break? Amazing.
- You whispered a thank you to God? That’s worship.
God sees your heart. He knows you’re trying. Keep going.
