Divide your time with God into the following parts. Begin with prayer, asking the Lord to teach you. Next, spend time in the Bible reading. Think about what God has said, then spend time in prayer.
Some have used the acrostic 'A-C-T-S' to help them as they pray. These letters represent adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication. People who have done anything great for God have spent time with Him in prayer.
