Quiet Time is a regular (often daily) individual session of Christian spiritual, or other activities, most notably prayer and/or private meditation or study of the Bible. The term "Quiet Time" is used by 20th-century Protestants, mostly evangelical Christians. It is also called "personal Bible study" or "personal devotions". Rick Warren points out that it has also been called "morning watch" and "appointment with God".
Practices vary according to denominational tradition: Anglican devotions, for example, will occasionally include the use of prayer beads. Billy Graham suggests that Quiet Times consists of three main elements: prayer, Bible reading, and meditation. He also mentions that many Christians accompany these three elements with journaling.
