All About How To Build A Close Relationship With God

By Francis Riggs


Believers have faith in the existence of the almighty and all powerful God. Believing and having faith are important but are not greater than a personal relationship with Him. Through a close association, He stirs passion in us so that we can love Him and others. Getting close to Him is something we all should strive for. Here is a brief guide on how to build a close relationship with God.

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.

Repentance is a sure way to build an association to our Maker. God is holy and without sin, and we are full of sins. Sins constrain our association to Him but when we confess and ask for forgiveness, He promises to bring us back to Him.

Learn to listen, speak if you want to create an association to our God. He speaks in His words in the Bible. In addition, His Holy Spirit helps us talk to Him. Also, the Spirit enables us understand His word so that we can hear Him speak to us. When we listen, He directs and lights our paths so that we are faithful, which is all He asks from us and the rest is left to He that provides everything.

Also, it is important to find a body of believers whom to worship with. True believers encourage one another so that everyone stays on the correct path. However, you must guard your heart as there are people who claim to speak for God but their actions are contrary.

The last step is to keep Him in the loop. We have friends who are always up to date in whatever is happening in our lives. The same case should apply to our Creator. Always update Him about your life although He already knows it. Share your concerns, sorrows, struggles and also good times. Allow Him to make significant changes in your life and bring happiness and joy in place of pain and sorrow.

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.
