5 Minutes That Change Everything: Meeting God in the MomentsSample

Make Room, Not Excuses
Martha was busy. Mary sat at Jesus’ feet. Both were doing things that mattered. But Jesus said Mary had chosen the better part:
“But one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:42, ESV).
Busyness isn’t bad. But sometimes we fill our days so full that we leave no room for what matters most. Five minutes with God is possible—even on your busiest day—if you make space.
That might mean waking up a little earlier. Putting down your phone. Turning off the noise. The point isn’t to squeeze in one more task. It’s to choose what truly matters.
Mary’s choice reminds us that being with Jesus is better than simply doing for Jesus. He doesn’t want your performance—He wants your attention. Even a short moment of attention can reshape your whole day.
Gospel Truth: Jesus isn’t just your Savior—He’s your friend (John 15:15, ESV). And He wants to be with you—not because you’re useful, but because you’re loved.

About this Plan

Feel too busy for God? You’re not alone. Life can be full—work, school, parenting, or all three. But even five minutes with God can make a real difference. This 7-day plan is for people who want to grow spiritually but feel short on time. Each day offers simple Scripture-based reflections to help you slow down, refocus, and connect with God. He’s not after your performance. He wants your presence. You don’t need to do it all. Just start with five minutes.
