Christians: I need some examples or advice on how to have a closer relationship with God?
I’ve been a Christian for about a year. I’m fourteen, almost fifteen. I read the Bible a lot, pray to Jesus very often (sometimes during school, when I really need to talk to Him), & I go to my youth group and we have lessons there about Christians lifestyles. I know it sounds like I’m just going along with what my parents have taught me by forcing me to go to church. But actually, my parents are atheists. I was witnessed by my best friend & I’ve wanted a very close relationship with Jesus.
To make a long story short, is there anything I can do to become closer & more intimate with God?
** And don’t give me any answers stating that I’m insane for believing in Jesus or that my religion is stupid. I’m so sick of it & I’m sure fellow Christians are too!
You must start your day with prayer and reading of the Bible (1Tim 4:13; 1Tim 2:8). This is more important than breakfast. Make sure you get to bed early so you can get up early and spend at least 30 minutes in devotions every morning. It is by faith that we have the victory over the world and quench all the darts of the evil one. Reading your Bible (Rom 10:17) and praying in the Spirit (Jude 1:20) will build faith.
Blessings!
