Key 5 - Solitude

• Get alone with God with no distractions.  When you want to get REALLY close to someone else, like your spouse or best friend or maybe one of your kids, how do you get close to them?  You have to spend time alone with them.  You need to spend time with them doing things THEY want to do, not just you.  You have to put away the cell phones, the TV, the video games… the distractions.  Doing this will amplify (make more powerful) your prayer and bible reading and meditation.

• Even getting alone with God for five minutes, or in the midst of your chaos, is powerful.  Practice solitude as often as possible.
