There is some biblical justification of the concept.
Psalm 62:
Daniel prayed regularly and daily to God, 6:1 My soul waits in silence for God only.
Jesus spent time alone in some isolated place praying to God. Mark 1:10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.
Seeking God, studying His word, and prayer - are biblical concepts. The specific format and timing of such practices can vary among individuals and traditions Using the term quiet time is fine with me so long as it is not presented as a rigid, mandatory doctrine.35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
