One of the most wonderful things about God is that He wants a deep and personal relationship with each one of His children. God wants you to recognize His voice when He speaks to you, and He wants you to allow Him to lead you as He gives you wisdom and guidance. As you make God a priority in your life, your desire for Him will grow deeper, allowing for your relationship with Him to develop deeper and stronger over time.
Allow the truth of God’s love to encourage you before you begin your day.
If you don’t know where to start, listen to what God is saying to you by reading encouraging scriptures to start your day. As you pray and read the bible, His Word will come alive to you, causing your faith to grow and your spirit to be strengthened for the day ahead. During this time, if there is something God would like to share with you, He will most likely choose to share with you in those quiet and intimate moments when you are still and alone with Him.
