"I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5 NLT

God wants a relationship with all of his children.
He wants to talk to you and guide you on the right path.
He even cares about your feelings and your desires.
God's relationship with each of his children are unique and special.
Here are some key elements to develop and strengthen your RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD:
**** After you ask God into your heart and believe that Jesus Christ died for you, complete the following list daily, to strengthen your relationship with God. ****
Prayer is our direct connection to God. You can communicate with God and if you listen, God can communicate with you as well. Prayer is a time when you can worship God, thank God and ask for forgiveness for your sins. Also, you can tell God your worries, ask God to help you overcome your weaknesses and anything else that maybe on your heart. Choose a quiet place to pray and talk to God. Jesus teaches us how to pray in the bible, in Matthew 6: 9-13.
When you are thankful for everything God has given you, this pleases him. Practicing Gratitude everyday keeps you focused on the blessings you do have, instead of what you do not have. When you are thankful for your blessings, this opens the door for you to receive more blessings. It is God's will for us to always be thankful.
God is amazing! He gave us a guidebook to help us get through life and it is called 'The Bible'. The Bible contains knowledge and wisdom for us to prosper in this life and ultimately reach our eternal destination in heaven! The YouVersion Bible App is a great app for anyone who wants to read the bible. This app also has many devotionals to teach, uplift and encourage you.
Church is a great place to fellowship with other believers. It is a place of worship and learning more about God. There are many churches in the community (Google "churches near me") and online (YouTube). Here are some online church resources to help you get started:
Some ways of honoring God includes:
- being led by the Holy Spirit
- living a life of goodness, peace and joy
- sharing with those in need

- worshipping him with holy fear and awe
When you honor God, this pleases him and expresses the love that you have for him.
Developing a relationship with God is a beautiful experience.
This relationship will be the foundation in your Christian walk.
Whenever you are having trouble, call on God and remember your foundation.
I hope this post blesses you and helps you with your relationship with God!
Jesus replied, " 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments." Matthew 22:37-40
