4 Things to Stop Doing to Grow Closer to God

1. Stay Sober Minded: Sobriety helps increase your clarity and discernment. It allows individuals to have clear minds, which is crucial for discerning spiritual truths and making decisions aligned with one’s faith.

2. Quiet Time With God: God wants a relationship with you, it’s not always a matter of praying and asking God to fulfill your needs but forming real intimacy with him and spending time with him.

3. Reading The Word: The Bible is Gods living and active word. It holds Gods truth and promises and instructs us how to live a full life in Christ.

(You can check out my recent EP about this on my podcast- https://open.spotify.com/episode/0QIu0P8r0DrUaUI4BEqEpg?si=mlpPLUNeQ66EBpJhPZI9sg)

4. Move Your Body: Exercise is not just a physical activity; it is an integral part of fostering spiritual well-being. By enhancing clarity, emotional balance, and discipline, while also promoting a stronger body and mind, physical movement becomes a tool for deepening one’s spiritual practice.
