The Holy Hour

There is something quietly powerful about setting aside an hour with God. It is all about intention. When we give God time, our hearts begin to settle, and our thoughts find order. Distractions loosen their grip, and the soul remembers who it belongs to. A holy hour becomes a refuge where grace restores what busyness has worn thin.

As often as we return to this sacred space, God meets us there. He shapes desire, sharpens discernment, and renews courage. In stillness, faith deepens. In listening, obedience becomes clearer. A holy hour is not an escape from life; it is preparation for living well. Over time, these hours form a rhythm that steadies us through every season.

Scripture invites us, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10 ESV). Stillness is where knowing grows. Make room often, and watch how God fills it with peace, wisdom, and strength.
