How To Build A Close Relationship With God

By Francis Riggs


The relationship with God matters to most people. In addition, just like any other relationship, things are not rosy at times. This is something most Christians have gone through. Some come out of it strong while others completely change after the ordeal. Loss of trust in God happens but one should work towards restoring the trust they had. Here are some of the ways on how to build a close relationship with God.

The first thing they must do is to make a habit of praying daily. One should pray daily and not be afraid to let God know their sins. Remember He already knows our thoughts, imperfections, and fear. Thus, when we open our minds to Him with repentance, our minds get clear and we get closer than we were before. Pray even you get a small break.

Today everyone is busy. If one is not working, they are attending the family. This alienates one from God. The best way to solve it is to find time for the lord just as we do for the family. To be back to been spiritual and fearful of the lord, we must make a priority to always seclude ourselves and pray.

Reading the bible makes people learn about God. At times is seems boring to read the holy book, but you should have time to read it anyway. Look for way to get started and remain focused such as having a bible-reading plan. If reading the whole book seems as a difficult task, you can break it down into small sections. For example, you can come up with a plan to read one chapter per week. God communicates through the words in the bible. If one reads it every day, they become more spiritual.

A Christian is supposed to fellowship with the others. The bible says where there are two or more gathered in the name of the Lord, the He is present with them. Holding prayers and intercessory sessions with others makes them. Strengthen their faith and understanding. Thus if one feels less spiritual, they should meet up with fellow church members.

The best thing to do when feeling less spiritual is to go to church. If you had stopped going to church either for the meetings or the Sunday service, consider going if you get an opportunity. The church represents the house of the lord. Been in the house of the Lord always brings one closer to God. This is the best environment for a believer.

Conviction is necessary have if one has to remain positive. For the Christians, it is normal to doubt the lord especially when things do wrong. For example, one has been praying to get a certain job but somebody else gets it. They should not be discouraged. Like the holy bible says stay in faith. They should be positive and hopeful.

A close relationship with the lord is possible for all. If we dedicate towards finding it, we will be at peace with our selves. The above tips will help those who have lost their faith to try to restore it. The bible says that if we ask for something, we will receive it. Therefore, instead of giving up, one should strive to be strong and dedicated to the Lord and the church. With effort and dedication, we will make it.
