Katherine Kehler gives practical advice on the need to spend the day with the Lord:
Usually our days are filled with the demands of life crying for our attention, ...but today, whether for four, eight or 12 hours, your only priority is to be with your Lord ...to bask in His love, to thank and worship Him, to listen to Him, to intercede for others...to lay your life and activities before Him and let Him give directions. The Bible promises us in James 4:8, "Come near to God and He will come near to you." He is waiting for you! Don’t rush. The objective is to spend relaxed uninterrupted time with God, not to go through a format.
