Building Your Relationship with God

1. Prayer: You have to consistently pray and talk to God. Your one on one time with God is very important. Talk to God about everything that is on your heart, talk to him about all of your issues and concerns and let him comfort you. In your prayer, praise God for all that he has done and continues to do for you, ask God for forgiveness of your sins, and ask him to help you in every area of your life.

2. Read your bible-taking time out to read your bible is also a valuable step in building your relationship with Christ. The Bible has the answers to everything we need to know, yet we barely take the time out to read it every single day. Bible reading should become apart of your daily routine. Just as you remember to get up and be at work on time, you should remember to read your bible faithfully. You can start out small with a verse a day and gradually increase your reading time.

3. Meditating - Along with reading you must meditate on the word. Think about what you have learned from studying the Bible and how it relates to situations in your life. Then you must apply what you've learned to your life. The key is doing, taking action to become a better you!

4. Listening to God- If we are doing all of the talking and aren't taking the time out to listen to God then that is a unhealthy relationship. We have to take the time out to listen to what God had to say. God will speak to us in the smallest voice yet you can hear it LOUD AND CLEAR. Try not to mistake your own thoughts with his spiritual words, that is definitely possible. We hear what we want to hear, most times that's not his voice only our opinion. When you truly hear the voice of God you will be at peace. Work on your relationship and I promise life will be so much better!
