Christian poet and writer Jackie Hill Perry shared a powerful reminder for those who have a hard time reconnecting with God due to busy schedules. A mother with four children asked her where to start going deep with God again, especially when she felt like she had no time.
Jackie understood the season she was in. Just like her, she was also a mother of four, a wife, and a business owner. However, she emphasized, “Time is not necessarily the reason we don’t meet with God; our hearts are. And if our hearts deceive us into thinking that we can exist without His hand and His help. Then we won’t seek him as much as we could even in the busyness of our life.”

The Reason We Don’t Meet With God
Furthermore, she recounted her experience. When her children couldn’t sleep at night, she couldn’t imagine getting up early in the morning to pray. Then, she shared wise counsel she had received from older women in her life.
“Invite God into those rhythms. So as you are making the bottle, as you are feeding the baby, be listening to scripture. When you are giving the kids a bath, be praying or listening to worship,” she mentioned.
Then she reminded those who are having difficulty reconnecting with God to engage in spiritual activities instead of scrolling on their phones during their free time. According to her, God would sustain and strengthen them the moment they invite God into their daily routines.
Moreover, she also highlighted, “You have to discern when the grace for that season has lifted.” What she meant was that there would be times when the kids would start sleeping through the night, and the Lord would prompt them to reconnect with Him. At this point, they need to discipline themselves and spend intimate time with God again.
