All About How To Build A Close Relationship With God

By Francis Riggs


When you are a believer, you believe in Gods existence and have faith in His power and strength. But it is not enough to believe as it does not help further your association with Him. After belief and faith, it is time to develop a personal and up close relationship with Him. This article will briefly explain how to build a close relationship with God. Ultimately, it is important to do so because it helps us love others and Him.

Understanding His expectations of you is the first step in making a connection to God. Even people must know each other well before becoming friends. To know what He expects from you, study His laws and rules. They are not meant to oppress, rather show the path to His presence. When we consider and follow His rules, we can start making a connection to Him.

Talk to Him. Just as friends talk, God wants us to talk to Him. We talk to Him when we pray. Prayers should not be complicated affairs; they are as simple as making conversation. Its an engaging speak in a respectful and loving way. Start by saying thank you for great things He does and also pray for others.

Whenever you pray, confess your sins to Him because it is a promise He will forgive us. When He forgives us, it restores a relationship that had been strained. Sin constrains our association to God because He is holy, pure and without sin.

The third way to create a relationship to our Creator is to listen to His words. He speaks through the Bible. Sometimes, its hard to hear Him speak but He does. We must ask for the help of the Holy Spirit to help listen to his words.

Worshiping in the company of other believers is essential for every believer trying to establish a close association to God. Believers encourage and correct other believers to walk in the path of light. However, one must always be careful as not everyone who claims to be a believer is actually one.

Lastly, remember to make Him a friend. Keep Him involved in whatever you do. Just like we always keep our friends in the loop, He wants us to include Him. Share your concerns, dreams, worries, struggles and joys. Let God work in your life and also take away your sorrow and pain to replace them with love, happiness, and joy.

Lastly, bear in mind Gods love for you bears no boundaries. Whenever you wander away from His light, try to find your way back, repent, and He will welcome you back to His flock. Whenever in need, do not hesitate to ask for Help. Be grateful for what is granted and what is not because it is all by His mercy. Also, pray for others and tell them of His love and mercies.
