How to succeed in the effort of having God anytime
While hardships, setbacks, and obstacles are unavoidable parts of life, one can overcome all these and live a happy life by having God with him/her all the time. As long as one holds faith in God and look up to Him during difficult times, impossible things can be made possible.
Every relationship needs time to grow and so does one’s relationship with God. One needs to spend time with God to foster intimacy with Him. Prayer is one of the biggest privileges as believers: one needs to make it part of his/her everyday life. It should be as normal as eating and sleeping, and as necessary. To many, today’s hectic lifestyle makes it difficult to pray to God regularly. Here’re some tips to prioritize God and succeed in the effort of fostering a relationship with Him.
Minimizing distractions: Though it seems impossible to eliminate them completely, one can take steps to maintain his/her focus. This may include not using electronic devices until one’s prayer is complete.
Remembering God first: Starting the day with prayer is a great idea to strengthen the relationship with God. One can ask God to speak to him/her and help him/her understand His Word every day.
Memorizing: Knowing scripture by heart helps one to stay away from sins, provides guidance, reminds him/her of God’s promises, and allows one to meditate on God’s Word anytime and anywhere.
While it’s good to follow the above methods to pray regularly, one can pray in his/her heart as he/she walks down the street, drives, or talks with a friend in order to succeed in the effort of having God all the time.
