Walking Closely with the Lord
Building a close relationship with the Lord is about spending time with Him and letting Him work in your life. It doesn’t have to be complicated, just take it one step at a time.
Start by setting aside some quiet time each day to read the Bible. Find a comfortable spot where you won’t be distracted. Before you begin, say a simple prayer, asking God to speak to you through His Word. Take your time as you read. There’s no need to rush. Think about what the verses mean and how they relate to your life.
It’s not just about reading, though. Try to live out what you’ve learnt. Let God’s Word guide your choices and actions. As you do this, keep talking to Him. Share your thoughts, worries and joys whatever is on your heart. The more you talk to Him, the closer you’ll feel.
Worship is another way to grow closer to God. It doesn’t have to be limited to church services. You can worship Him in your own way through singing, giving thanks, or simply spending time thinking about His goodness.
It’s also helpful to spend time with other Christians. Join a home cell group or talk about what you’re learning with friends. Sharing with others can really encourage you and help you grow.
You might find it helpful to keep a journal. Writing down what God is teaching you can be a great way to look back and see how much He has done in your life.
Most importantly, trust Him. Trust His plans, even when things don’t make sense. The more time you spend with God, the closer you’ll feel to Him, and His Word will guide and strengthen you every step of the way.
