This article will help you know how to share or spend time (commune) with God. Sharing quiet time (called communing) with God is very important, if you want a solid relationship with Him. This means to converse or talk together, often with profound intensity, intimate communication or rapport: interchange of ideas or sentiments, derived from French "comun" meaning - common, to share!

    Sit still and listen. Try to see whether God is talking to you. Even if you don't hear God talking, the sounds of nature are part of Him. In the Bible it is stated that "it is better to listen than to talk." This is stating that it is better to be quiet and listen to what God has to say rather than talking to Him but not listening.

    Read your Bible. See whether God responds to your questions. God talks to His creation through His signs. Write down your prayers, if that helps you to concentrate. Write down what God is telling you as well.
