Choose seven transitional words used to aid coherence in this paragraph. Having a daily quiet time is important. First, it helps us get to know God in a more personal way as a friend. Since any friendship thrives on communication, the more we talk with God the more we learn about Him and His will for our lives. Second, time spent reading the Bible prepares us for the day. Next is the time spent in prayer. Indeed, without prayer, our Christian lives are actually in disobedience to God's Word and, therefore, empty. Finally, a day started with the Lord will bless each of us and help us to be a blessing to those with whom we meet during the day.
