Topic: Growing Closer To God
2 Thoughts:
1. Be Intentional With Your Time
Recognize the importance of carving out intentional time for God on a daily basis. Create space for prayer, meditation, and reading Scripture. In the busyness of life, this intentional time serves as a foundation for deepening your connection with the Lord. And let's be honest...what do you have to do that's MORE important than this!?
2. Listen and Obey
Growing closer to God involves not only speaking to Him but also listening closely. As you spend time in prayer and reflection, be open to His guidance. Obedience is a key component of intimacy and is critical for the man who wants to grow closer to Him.

Connect with a mentor or another Christian friend who can provide guidance and accountability in your journey of growing closer to God. Share your experiences, seek wisdom, be vulnerable and honest, and learn from someone who has walked a similar path you're on.
