Spending Time in Prayer

Spending consistent time in prayer and creating an intentional habit of talking to God can vastly improve and strengthen your relationship with Him.

An effective way to commit to doing this is to try 21 days of prayer and fasting. Through prayer and fasting, believers intentionally disconnect from the world and devote their full attention and heart to God.

Allow God to speak to you through His Word and your heart – when you pray, talk to Him sincerely and expectantly with an open mind and heart. Allow Him to teach you, as you develop and grow in your relationship with Him.

Learn How to Study the Bible

Studying the Bible helps us to develop a deeper relationship with God. We learn more of His character, His plans and purposes, and His ways.

Moreover, it helps us to develop the spiritual discipline of self-reflection and spiritual growth. We can better apply God’s truth to our lives, and gain a clearer understanding of His will for us.

We can also remember the promises of God, pray with faith and confidence, and become more patient with others and with ourselves.  Through consistent bible study or even random scripture reading, we can cultivate a relationship with God that grows deeper every day. 

Connect With a Mentor or Small Group

Finding a mentor or small group to help improve your relationship with God is a great way to strengthen your faith. A mentor can provide guidance and accountability to help you become more devoted to your Christian faith.

A small group can provide an opportunity for fellowship and prayer with other believers, which can also be beneficial in growing closer to God.

Develop a Listening Ear for God’s Voice

God has given us His word and His Spirit to help us develop a listening ear for His voice. By listening to His voice, we can strengthen our relationship with Him as He reveals what is on His heart.

One way to develop a listening ear for God’s voice is to spend time in His presence each day, praying and reading Scripture. Doing so promotes focus and stillness, allowing God to speak. As we listen, it will improve and deepen our relationship with Him.

Continue to Improve Your Relationship With God

Continuing to improve your relationship with God is vital to your spiritual well-being. Developing a deeper understanding of scripture, participating in daily prayer and meditation, and serving the spiritual needs of others are the best places to start.

Acknowledge God in everything you do and recognize His will and presence in your life. Take action now and commit to putting your faith in God and growing spiritually each and every day.
