Advice On 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.

Communications is important is we are to be close to the Lord. Therefore, since praying is the way we communicate with the lord, we should pray continuously. Not just every morning we wake up and every evening when sleeping but every chance, we get. Even during the busy schedules, it is not hard to close ones eyes and murmur a short prayer.

Find time for the lord. Just as people are dedicated to their work and other duties, they should find time to pray and read the bible. One gets closer to God if they spare time to be with Him. This does not mean you do it during a small break. Get into a closed room and spend the next hour praying.

Always read the bible and pray. The bible is important to a Christian as the scriptures are meant to guide and give hope to the believers. Reading it the same book everyday seems as a boring tasks but one should device ways to make the scripture reading sessions enjoyable. There are guides and other tools they can use. Another way to do it is to divide the whole book into small sections and read one section after the other. Somebody who does this will finish the whole book in no time.

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 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.

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.
