In today’s fast-paced society, many Christians struggle to find time for God amidst the pressures of daily life. Between work, family responsibilities, household chores, and personal health, it’s easy for faith to take a backseat. However, balancing a busy lifestyle with a thriving spiritual life is not only possible but essential. Here’s how you can make it happen.

One powerful piece of advice I remember comes from the late Billy Graham, in his sermon titled *”How to Live the Christian Life.”* He encouraged believers to start their day with a devotional, placing God first by dedicating the first moments of the morning to prayer and scripture. This simple practice demonstrates a commitment to prioritize your faith amidst your busy schedule.

Billy Graham’s advice was practical, especially for those just beginning their spiritual journey. He suggested starting small—with as little as five minutes a day. As your spiritual discipline grows, so can the time you dedicate to your morning devotional.

As an entrepreneur working 18-hour days, I was inspired to find a solution to balance my faith with my busy schedule. This led me to create The 15-Minute Devotional Journal, a tool that helps me structure my morning devotional within a manageable 15-minute window. I shared it with friends, associates, and even family members, and they too found it empowering. This inspired me to make the journal available to the public—especially for believers in the workplace, students, and those with demanding schedules.

If you often find yourself too busy for extended devotionals, this journal can help you reconnect with God in a practical way.

In addition to morning devotionals, you can remain spiritually connected throughout the day by offering simple prayers of gratitude: “Thank you, God, that I can walk,” “Thank you, God, for my health,” “Thank you, God, for this meal,” and so on.

No matter how busy life becomes, it’s crucial to keep Christ at the center. Through Him, we find our strength, and by involving Him in our daily lives, our journey becomes smoother and more purposeful.

I hope this encourages and empowers you.

God bless.
