Sheila Walsh: 5 Minutes with Jesus

Many women struggle to find a few quiet minutes each day to spend time in God’s Word. The busyness of life seems to get in the way. Sheila wants to encourage women of all ages to find the time, just five minutes a day, to read the Bible and slowly absorb the words that will bring life. Sheila recalls the time she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. She had struggled with depression for a good part of her life. During her time in the psych ward Sheila shares how she could not read lots of information, but she could read a verse each day and mediate on it. “There are some seasons of life in which you can only read one verse,” shares Sheila. When you meditate on God’s Word it creates a hunger for more time with Jesus.

Over the past twenty years, Sheila has spoken to millions of women. As she has encouraged them in their walk with the Lord she has discovered that many women feel guilty about not spending enough time with God. “God’s time is not like ours, and when we give Him our time, He can do more within us in five minutes than if we spend five hours on our own,” reveals Sheila. She says it is important to start a conversation with God that will continue throughout the day – a conversation that Jesus will use to encourage, guide, and strengthen us.
