One question many Career Women ask is “How can I maintain a strong relationship with God while managing the demands of career and family life?“

First of all, you must put God in the centre of everything. 

Making God the centre is where everything starts.

When you start feeling irritable or overwhelmed, it is often a sign that your fellowship with God needs attention.

Maintaining a strong relationship with God helps put the mind and heart in the right frame for handling daily responsibilities.

To help keep God at the centre amidst life’s demands, here are some practical steps you can take to strengthen your relationship with Him.

1.Prioritize Your Quiet Time

One of the key things I’ve learned is that you need to prioritize quiet time. 

While we often say, “Oh, in the morning I wake up and I pray,” quiet time is really deeper than just prayer. 

It is the bedrock of who you are; it’s a time where you pray, listen out for God, fellowship and enjoy his love. 

Quiet time builds you up to be able to handle everything else you plan to do, from your career, work, home to purpose.

You can schedule your quiet time in the morning or at night, choose what works for you. It might mean waking up earlier or sleeping later. 

2. Maximize Your Quiet Time

Once your quiet time is in place, what do you do during that time? 

You need to enjoy fellowship and enjoy God’s love. It needs to be a time where you cast your burdens at his feet and discuss the things happening in your career and home. 

God wants to be involved, which is why you should make Him the centre of it all.

When you go into your quiet time to bask in God’s love, listen to what He has to say and share where you need His help, you come out a much stronger person. 

God starts to tell you things to do that make the other parts of your life very easy, so you can dedicate more time to the things that are important to Him, like your purpose and relationship with Him.

3. Build a Community of Faith

The second big step is to remember what the Bible tells us: “Do not forsake the fellowship of your brethren.” Build a community of people that love God around you. 

There are Christians and there are Christians, so build a community of people that enjoy encounters with God, enjoy God’s favour, talk with God and hear from God. 

This community will build you up and fire you up to even go to the next level and build your own relationship.

If there are conferences or meetings, please do not hesitate to make time for them. As you attend these meetings, ensure to seek God’s face and get instructions. 

When you go into these meetings believing God will speak to a specific area of your life and give you rest, He will.

You will get wisdom and revelation that will make your work so easy that people will think you are coasting. You will get wisdom that will set your home to be powered on its own.

In summary, to maintain your relationship with God amidst everything, make Him the centre of it all. 

Prioritize quiet time, lean on Him, enjoy His love, share about all the parts of your life and seek to hear from Him. Don’t leave without an instruction or His word. 

Also, do not forsake the fellowship of the brethren; build a community of people that love God and attend as many reasonable meetings as you can, going there with an intention to build your spirit. 

When you do these things, the core part of your life, which is truly you, will always be on a roll.
