You’ll also need a journal, for we’re going to journal every day in our time with Jesus..
But most importantly, I want you to find a space.
One that offers privacy. Where you can turn off distraction, if even for a few moments. It’s a cell-phone, technology-free zone where you can just. . . be.
Proverbs 31 Ministries hosts She Speaks conference each year, and one of the most visited rooms at the conference is our prayer room. It is what many look forward to every year. It’s talked about, written and blogged about afterward.
Many find God so close in that small private space and look forward to it the next year.
But why wait for a once-a-year special encounter with God?
Carve out a space for Him today.
Suzie, I’m a busy mom. I have no space to myself.
Moses met in a tent. So hungry for God that He went into a tent in the wilderness.
It’s the hunger that counts here, creating a place reserved for you and your Savior.
My space is a community prayer room that I just discovered a few weeks ago. But your space may be a corner of your bedroom, in an oversized closet, or at the altar in your church. It might be sitting on your deck outside, or communing in nature.
How will you create that space? Where will you find it? What will it look like?
I’m not sure how I’m going to fit this in, or what will come of it, but I’m in! In my adult life, there has never been a more tumultuous time. I can certainly use some God sized help and this online study is the vehicle that presented itself. Thank you Suzie.
Please go ahead and sign me up. Since I get your blog I should get the emails for this. Thanks so much. Blessings and looking forward to it. Jeanie
When I read this this morning, my first thought was “wow”! The other day when I came across your first post, I knew this 30 day journey was God speaking to me. However, now I KNOW that I know- in a message to a friend yesterday I wrote, “I have found it hard to just ‘be'” and went on to say how I was thinking maybe having more of a ritual in my quiet times would help- putting my computer and cell phone away, lighting a candle, working on some of the outer distractions so that I could begin to work on the inner stuff with God. And yesterday I had been thinking a lot about journaling- i have journaled since I was just a young girl, but lately I have found it so hard to write, yet at the same time I miss it terribly…Anyways, I just had to share this! Sorry for the long reply! 🙂
Elizabeth I write my prayers for my journling. Praise, admission, request, and thanksgiving. I stay focused this way, blessings.
Suzie,
I have my “space” with coffee and Jesus every morning but I have never been good at journaling (there are many with only a few pages written). There is something Jesus is teaching me that He wants me to write. I can’t wait to encounter Him and explore what He specifically has for me. Thank you for prompting me to start on Monday – it is perfect timing!
Would love to join! I hope I did what I need to sign up. THANKS!
I’m not sure when I can squeeze it in my schedule. But, I’m praying to God that He will open a little time just so I can add this! Right now I have time to read at night since I started my new job. I’m praying to create sometime in my mornings.
Courtney, a day in advance make an appointment with God. We usually know a day in advance where we will be and when we plan our tomorrows make that appoinent.
I am blessed to have a spare room/clothes room/computer room where I can always count on some quiet time with the Lord! Love it up here!
Looking forward to our time with the Lord.
Can’t wait to start our time with our LORD
as a recent empty nester I have made an empty bedroom my special room – – and I love it! I am so looking forward to the next 30 days. I’ve been feeling a bit weary and down lately – I think will be the lift that I need to give me the spiritual “booster shot” that I need!
I prefer to do it first thing in the morning but my youngest grandson is the alarm clock around here. But, I can always count on my lunch break at work.
Suzie,
I did day 1 of 30 days of intimacy with Jesus yesterday and I wonder if day two will not be online until October 2?

Is this study still available ?
