Do you struggle to spend time with God consistently? Maybe you've started a Bible reading plan with the best intentions, only to fall behind and feel guilty. If your quiet time has begun to feel more like another task on your to-do list than a relationship with God, this episode is for you.

In Episode 221 of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're talking about why it's so hard to stay consistent in your devotional life and how guilt may actually be keeping you from growing closer to God. Instead of trying harder or chasing the perfect quiet time routine, you'll discover how to move from obligation into a life-giving relationship with Jesus.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why spending time with God can feel so difficult, even when you truly desire it.
• The hidden guilt cycle that keeps many Christians feeling stuck.
• Why rushing through your Bible reading and prayer isn't the real problem.
• How to build a sustainable quiet time rooted in grace instead of performance.
• Practical ways to grow closer to God one faithful step at a time.

If you've ever wondered why your devotional life feels inconsistent or you've struggled with guilt after missing time with God, I hope this conversation encourages you to stop striving and start enjoying the relationship God is inviting you into.
