Want to get closer to God?
Here are three great ways to do that.
#1 Share your story. Our stories make us who we are. Sharing your story with someone forges a bond with that person. So why not tell your story to God? Yes, of course He already knows. That’s not the point. The process of you sharing your experiences with God helps create a new level of intimacy with Him.
#2 Share your feelings. Our feelings are deeply personal, and they tell us a great deal about ourselves. Sharing your feelings with God demonstrates your trust that God is a safe place for you to be real about yourself. And don’t stress about your feelings not being “sanctioned” or correct. God doesn’t need your performance; He needs your honesty. When the real you meets the real Jesus, transformation occurs.
#3 Ask a question. The God who created the universe can figure out how to answer your questions. But He cannot answer them if you don’t ask. So ask! I ask God about decisions, but I also ask for His perspective, especially if I’m feeling out of sorts. “What do You want me to know?” is a powerful prayer/question, opening the door for God to share transforming truth with you.
Be encouraged!
