According to a Lifeway Research survey
Protestant women are more likely than men to spend time alone with God, according to a new survey analyzing how often non-Catholics engage in quiet time with the Lord.
In L’investigation, published by Lifeway Research, an organization that analyzes current trends in church ministry, 65 percent of Protestant worshipers said they intentionally spend time with God at least daily. 44% Forty-four percent of participants said they spent time with God once a day, while 21% said they enjoyed quiet time with God several times a day.
Lifeway Research conducted the survey of 1,002 Americans September 19-29, 2022, recruiting participants through a pre-recruited national panel. Respondents were screened to determine whether they attended religious services at least once a month and identified as Protestant/nondenominational.
Another 17% of worshipers say they spend time alone with God several times a week instead of one or more times a day, and 7% say they have quiet time with the Lord once a week.
5% Five percent said they spend time with God a few times a month, 2% said once a month, and 3% said less than once a month. Only 1% of respondents said they never spend time alone with God.
Gender appears to play a role in how likely respondents are to say that finding time alone with God was a daily habit for them. In the survey, 48% of women said quiet time with God was part of their daily habit, compared to 38% of men.
