A Simple Guide On 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.

The second step is prayer. Praying is a way of communicating to God and, therefore, is paramount when trying to make a connection to Him. A prayer is a simple talk; it does not have to be complicated. It is like a conversation of someone you love, only filled with respect and adoration. In prayer, it is important to be grateful for good and bad things and also to pray for other people.

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.

Do not forget to involve Him in everything you do, He loves that. He wants us to fellowship throughout the day, Him just as you would keep in touch with a friend. Tell Him of your worries, joys and concerns. Also, allow Him to work in your life and take away the pain and bring joy and happiness.

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.
