Im not really sure what you mean by “ how much time “ we put in it’s a lifetime commitment brother to live a new life for God and not for ourselves anymore. So what we want to do is listen to him and what he’s saying in the gospel.
im old , there was times in my life brother that I put very little of anything into my side of the relationship and God still loved me because I believed in Jesus. I didn’t know them but now I realize I’m those times , he was putting his time into me beating up my ignorance and stupidity , forebearing with my poor choices and my alcoholism that fueled it all.
Somehow through no good doing of my own infact through a lot of bad doings on my part God never stopped caring and helping and blessing and protecting and calling to and reminding me of ect he never stopped when I lacked my part is what I mean
now I’ve gone and turned white headed and gotten old somehow , really could not tell you how it happened honestly but I’m definately an old goat now and things are different because I finally listened to the words I’ve always heard or read or prayed about
It’s just been a lifetime commitment first God committed to me and then won me over and somewhere along the way in the middle I suppose late Middle I reckon. I really commited to trust all the stuff he had taught me over the years in good times and bad .
What I was getting at is it’s a full time relationship between god and the believer. And isnt really just about reading a Bible , praying , or attending church but it’s really about our daily life and how we treat other people as Christian’s in the world representing Christ.
Its not really about allotting certain time for prayer or study or church which are all great uses of some of our time and essential but also is about how we act towards others
Do we help or harm ? Do we walk on by as if we don’t see as the levite religious preist in the story ? Or will we be as the Good Samaritan who loves his neighbor as himself ?
it’s really about k owing Gods there with us when we’re in the open and in the dark and so it’s wise to learn his will and ways but then as we begin to trust and apply them to life it becomes a tangible relationship that goes both ways ….like a loving father and his children responding to his teaching then as they grow up into decent productive peaceful helpful humans
who also happen to share the good news of Jesus with others when they find a chance to drop a seed or two
jesus teaches us in the gospel to try to live one day at a time and seek his kingdom and righteousness because each day has its own struggles and challenges we’ll face. But we want to start and end our days acknowledging God brother because he’s with us when we believe the gospel and call upon his name
We may not even realize like I didn’t until I got white headed but he’s there with us even before we’ve become better people or made drastic changes but just because we truly believe the gospel and desire to do better to get away from the things we feel and know are wrong
id say I’ve put about seventy years give or take hearing about Jesus and then later seeking more about him in his word and I believe Gods out far more time in than I have working on the old cracked lump of clay
it’s being born into his family brother as if your a new child and begin to learn from your father about your new life maybe try reading fifteen minutes in the am with some prayer and coffee if you drink it , it’s a good way to get some thoughts to ponder through the day and fill our mind with better things more often better reflections and thoughts matter alot
But the fifteen min of reading is because we’re learning about our father and new life and role in his family so it’s like a reaping and seeing nature we are going to be more aware of our relationship with God , the more we put into it on a regular basis even if it’s fofteen or twenty min reading it’s about applying those things to ourselves learnkng gods ways and blessing others in his name
For me, it is God is in me, never leaving, never forsaking me, even though I have again and again. By this continued mercy I saw how to stop and see it new and not me stopping anything. Rather, it is God Father in of risen Son doing that in love and mercy through me. His done work, not any new work ever. It has taken me a long while to see it, and that is done by not quitting belief to he is risen for me, and all others too, to be new and take no credit for doing it correctly now by his love and mercy only it is done for us to be new to all in love true love ass in 1 Cor 13:4-7 to me at least after gettinging imputed those verses from God, god does this for us all that are sincere
That’s exactly my point when I’m at work. I don’t rob my employer by not giving him 100% attention, if you’re a neurosurgeon, you’re focusing on your job at hand and that’s what God expects of you. Unless you are an othrodox schema monk living in a mountain, or you are retired. You won’t be able to pray when you’re sleeping and you won’t be praying or reqding the Bible when you’re working so assuming you work eight hours a day and sleep eight hours a day that leaves eight hours a day which would be the maximum give or take a couple hours you can put in. It seems people on this forum have a very typical concept of reading the criteria “I specifically layout” which is dedicated time specifically for prayer or reading the Bible.

Part of the problem is that there are those who attempt to keep God in their consciousness at all times. Even as they work, or simply engage in a conversation, they do so in light of God's word and are seeking to hear His voice in the midst of it.
For such ones, all of life is viewed as prayer; a constant conversation and consideration of God. It is living from the inside out.
Within this there will certainly be times dedicated to closeted prayer and Bible study, which is what you are interested in. But this is not as easy a separation for some as others.
