When are your planned meetings with God?

Troy Kroening | 10/10/2016

There are many ways to encounter God. Many of them happen when we are not ready or not aware. But we should not look past planning meetings with God. Setting aside scheduled time to encounter God can help us tremendously. By having these planned encounters, we are more likely to see Him in the unplanned encounters.

St. Mother Theresa spent time in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament before going into the slums of Calcutta. She explained that by seeing Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, she could see Jesus in those she met. It was her planned encounter that helped her see God in the unplanned encounters.

What do our planned meetings with God need to look like? I imagine that each of our planned meetings with God will be as individualized as we are. It could be a prayer or reading the Bible. Making it a daily habit helps the most, but also trying to schedule it. Is it when we wake up? Just before bed? A certain time in the middle of the day? On the drive to or from work?

No matter who you are, God would love planned meetings with you. He loves you enough to die for you, so having a planned meeting with the one that He loves would really make Him happy.

I am an adopted son of God through baptism, though still a great sinner. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and 11 lovely children, 3 of which have gone to Heaven before their birth.

I love the Rosary and started sharing little Catholic reflections with others. My little reflections have helped deepen my faith and I hope they can help others as well. Though not always fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, I enjoy when He takes over and seeing what direction He takes the reflection.

Please say a prayer for me and I will continue to pray for all who read my little reflections, especially for them to be read as the Holy Spirit intends. St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for the success of my little reflections and for all of Catholic365 and its readers.
