Embracing and Drawing Closer to God is a deeply personal journey, but here are some unique ways to strengthen your relationship with Him:
Practice Listening Prayer
Instead of only speaking to God in prayer, sit silently and listen for His guidance. This helps develop a deeper awareness of His presence.
Create a God Journal
Write down moments where you see God at work in your life—answered prayers, lessons learned, or even struggles where you feel His presence
Go on a Spiritual Retreat
Spend a day or weekend in nature or solitude, dedicating time to prayer, worship, and reflection without distractions.
Engage in Creative Worship
Express your faith through art, music, poetry, or dance—whatever feels natural to you. Worship isn’t limited to singing!
Practice Gratitude with Scripture
Every day, find one Bible verse that resonates with you and write down a few things you’re grateful for related to that verse.
Serve Others with Intentional Love
Jesus taught love through action. Seek opportunities to serve the less fortunate or help someone in need, seeing it as an act of worship.
Fast from Distractions
It doesn’t have to be food—consider fasting from social media, TV, or anything that competes with your time with God.
Walk and Talk with God
Take a walk in nature and talk to God as if He were walking beside you, just like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Study the Names of God
Learn about God’s different names in the Bible (Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, etc.) and reflect on how each one applies to your life.
Ask God Bold Questions
Don’t be afraid to ask God hard questions about your faith, struggles, or purpose. Seeking Him with honesty deepens trust and relationship.
What does the bible say about drawing closer to God?
James 4:8 Â Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.
Psalm 145:18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 10:22 Â Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them
Psalm 91:1-16 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.  They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
