He often calls us to come and sit with Him and just be. ? Just be who He created us to be. ? Just be with Him. ? Just sit and talk with Him.? Just sit and listen to Him.? Just be.Why is it so difficult to just be? Distractions abound, the mind races, and all chaos seems to break loose when we commit to just be with God. When we finally find the space and time, we wonder how to lean into and develop a relationship with Someone we cannot see with the naked eye. How do we plug into God's amazing love and presence? How do we calm our spirit so we can hear His gentle whispers as He speaks? Truly, quiet time is when we meet with God spirit to spirit, and often it takes practice to become accustomed to being in and enjoying His presence. But once He is experienced, life is changed for the richer and fuller.Dragonfly Ministries has been hosting weekend retreats for many years. One of the tools we have provided over the years in a guide to help people move into their quiet time. Those tools are now assembled within this book, which provide help for just being with God. From short devotionals to ways to discern God's voice, from worksheets to aid with Bible study to journal pages to pen thoughts, prayers, and questions. This little book will not do the work for you, but it does provide tools to help you center your heart on what really matters. Just being with God.
