• When we should make it a priority to spend time with the Lord. It’s just making time with Him and focusing on Him with no agenda.

• When starting out having quiet times with the Father, it better to do it in short increments of time, where you can really focus on Him.

• The more you practice these things, the easier it gets to get past the distractions and really focus on the Father.

• In Philippians 4:8, it talks about meditating on things that are pure, lovely, noble right, admirable and excellent.

• God can and does speak to us in so many different ways in including our circumstances, audibly, dreams, and visions,a word of wisdom and knowledge, but the two that stand out are that a small still voice and through God’s written Word.
