How To Build A Close Relationship With God

By Francis Riggs


At times, most people find themselves lacking the spiritual connection with God. The reason for this is people are losing faith in God and the religion. This has affected them and the families are no longer attending church due to loss of faith and busy schedules. These needs to change and the people must learn 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.

The bible is a book for the Christians to learn about Jesus and living in the ways that glorify the God. It guides them on what to do in a particular situation. It has all the answers and guidance a person can need. Therefore if one feels they have lost touch with the lord or have done something that does not uphold Christian values, they should read the bible and repent. The bible may seem big and not easy to read. The good news is there are ways and tools one can use to make reading enjoyable.

Do not be alone; seek the company of other believers. If you are, alone you tend to be negative in all the thoughts that come into the mind. Been with another person encourages one to be positive in every situation.

The best way to feel closer to God is to attend church regularly. Vesting the church should be out of desire and should not be seen as a duty or obligation. It does not mean you spend most of the time in church but you should worship and fellowship regularly. Remember going to church does not make you a Christian.

Having faith despite the hard times is necessary. Even after praying and fasting. It may seem as if the lord has forgotten us. Things will go wrong even if we pray, but we should strengthen our faith instead of letting it waver. Our inners thoughts and wishes should remain pure. We should set examples in how we do it and it will encourage others.

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.
