Four Simple Rhythms to Consistently Grow Closer to God Every Day
When Your Heart Wants More of God but Life Feels Too Busy
Ever feel like you’re trying to stay close to God, but your days are so full that your spiritual life feels more like maintenance than real growth?
As a working mom of two middle schoolers—juggling practices, homework, and a full-time job—your heart longs to know God deeply, but your reality feels inconsistent and distracted.
You’re not drifting from God…but you’re not drawing closer either. You’re stuck in the “same old, same old,” and your faith feels flat and familiar.
If you’ve looked for simple ways to grow closer to God as a busy Christian mom, you’re in the right place.
These rhythms will help you move from spiritual survival mode to a simple, steady walk with God you can actually maintain.
From Scattered Faith to Steady Growth
It’s all too common to juggle a full-time job, manage a busy home, and squeeze in a devotion—only to realize later nothing really stuck.
That cycle of “check it off and move on” can leave a mom wanting a deeper walk with God, yet feeling lost in the chaos of everyday life.
These four simple rhythms have brought stability, patience, and peace into the middle of a demanding schedule—enough to respond differently when kids test limits and to model faith in real, everyday moments.
This same clear, doable path is now here to help you grow your faith right in the middle of your real life too.
A Simple Plan You Can Follow Starting Today
To help you move from inconsistency and overwhelm to a steady, growing walk with God, here is a simple framework called G.R.O.W. Each letter shows the path from where you are to where you want to be—spiritually steady, connected, and confident in your faith.
G — Get Still Before God
-
Pick one verse for the week about who God is and place it on your bathroom mirror.
-
Read it each morning as you get ready and let that truth set the tone for your day.
-
Read it again each evening to quiet your heart and end the day in God’s peace.
This simple rhythm takes just seconds—but it will steady your mind and keep you anchored in God’s presence all week long. The next section will give you some options of scriptures to use.
R — Root Yourself in Scripture
-
Psalm 86:15 — “But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.”
-
Exodus 34:6 — “The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.”
-
Nahum 1:7 — “The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”
Even one verse—when carried in your heart—can shift your whole day and draw you deeper into God’s character. And once God’s Word is rooted in your heart, the next step is to open your everyday moments—morning, night, and everything in between—to let that truth shape how you walk with Him.
O — Open Your Life to God Throughout the Day
-
Begin the day by asking, “Lord, show me who You are today,” as you read your weekly verse in the mirror.
-
Carry that truth into your day—letting small moments (driving, cooking, waiting) become quiet invitations for God to guide your thoughts.
-
Return to the same verse at night, asking, “Lord, how did I see You today?” and let His truth settle your spirit.
When your heart stays open in simple moments, Scripture becomes more than words—you begin experiencing who God is in the rhythm of real life.
W — Walk It Out with Your Family and Others
-
Notice how God’s character is shaping you, and let those truths guide your attitude, tone, and choices.
-
Let your growing understanding of God influence how you treat your family, showing the same mercy, patience, and goodness He shows you.
-
Carry His truth into every interaction so the God you know deeply shines through your words and responses.
When His character transforms you from the inside out, your life becomes a clear reflection of the One you’re learning to know—just like the reflection you see each morning and evening in the mirror.
