Today we will discuss the important aspects of spending time with God. To build a close relationship with God, we need dedication and consistency. We should spend time with God the way we talk to our loved ones.
If we look at Jesus, we will see that he gave the greatest importance to spending time with God. He used to get up early in the morning to pray, and for this he would choose a secluded place. Through this, he was obliged to let his life be guided by God.
From this, we can learn that we should also spend time in solitude like Jesus in prayer to God and discuss every matter with Him. No matter how busy we are in life, we need to set aside time for God.
When we spend time with God, we go deep into His Word and understand the mysteries. When we pray and tell God our hearts, we feel that He is with us. Spending time with God, we can gain the wisdom that we need for this life.
So let us prepare ourselves to spend time with God in order to overcome this world. Through this, we can connect other believers to God. Dear friends, now let’s look at the following Bible passages that talk about spending time with God.
