Things i’m doing to grow my relationship with God

This year i am focusing on growing my relationship with God and putting Him first. The journey has been rough but His path is righteously. I encourage that we all grow closer to the Lord, and help others who also seek Him. Here are ways that i am growing my relationship with God:

✿ Waking up and putting God first ✿

✿ Reading a daily devotional and staying in the Word ✿

✿ Listening to worship music and tuning out secular music ✿

✿ Staying in prayer ✿

✿ Applying His ways to my life ✿

... Read moreGrowing your relationship with God requires intentionality and dedication. One effective method is to wake up early and commit your first moments to Him. Psalm 5:3 emphasizes the importance of starting the day with prayer, setting a positive tone for what lies ahead. Reading a daily devotional and immersing yourself in the Bible is pivotal. It's crucial to approach scripture with an open heart, seeking guidance and wisdom. A daily study session can significantly enhance your understanding and connection to God's message. Currently, many believers find comfort in the book of Psalms, as it speaks directly to the soul. Listening to worship music is another enriching practice. It elevates your spirit and aligns your thoughts with God's presence, making it a vital part of your day. Secular music can dilute this connection, so many choose to tune into melodies that glorify God and promote positive, uplifting sentiments. Staying in continuous prayer builds a consistent dialogue with the Lord. Ephesians 6:18 encourages all sorts of prayers; sharing your thoughts and concerns allows for a deeper understanding of God's will in your life. Remember to pray not only for yourself but also for others as a way of fostering community and compassion. Finally, applying God's teachings to your daily life nurtures personal growth. Reflect on situations and ask the question, 'What would Jesus do?' This mindset can guide your actions and decisions, leading to a fulfilling spiritual journey. With perseverance and faith, the path to a closer relationship with God can be incredibly rewarding.

My goal this year was the wake up an hour earlier this year so I can have more time with God that isn’t rushed. I’ve been slacking the past week or so but trying to get back into it because waking up early before the sun to spend time with God is literally the best
