DEVELOPING A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD 

 

 Be Practical 
Find a quiet place daily. Remove distractions and focus on God.

​ Be Thankful 
Begin with thanksgiving and praise (Psalm 100:4). Thank Him for salvation, health, family, work, and daily provision (Philippians 4:6). Thanksgiving makes you more aware of His presence (Psalm 95:2).

​ Worship 
Worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24). In His presence, fear and limits fall away, and freedom reigns (John 8:36).

​ Come Boldly 
Through the blood of Jesus, enter God’s throne room (Hebrews 4:16). Cast your cares on Him  (1 Peter 5:7) and believe He hears and answers (Matthew 7:7).

​ Pray God’s Word 
Pray in line with Scripture, for He watches over His Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). Jesus gave us the model prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 — covering daily needs, forgiveness, protection, and God’s Kingdom purposes.

​

 The Lord’s Prayer 
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
