All About How To Build A Close Relationship With God

By Francis Riggs


Believers are not called so out of nothing. It is because they believe in the existence of God and have faith in him. However, belief and faith are not enough as we must strive to know our Creator. Most importantly, we must strive to be close to Him. A personal relationship with our Maker is exciting as it stirs up a passion inside to love not only Him but also others. We all want to know 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.

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.

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.

It is crucial for one to worship in the company of other believers. Seeing others like you helps grow your determination to develop a close association to the Maker. Besides, it sets you on the path of encouragement and correction so that you may maintain an upright walk. Beware of some believers as others may be wolves in sheeps clothing.

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.

In conclusion, know that God loves you. It is the most important thing to remember. He will forgive you when you ask and will heal you if you are sick. The most important thing to remember is to ask Him. Spend time with Him and always be grateful for what He has and is doing in your life. Do not be selfish, share with others His goodness and pray for them too.
