How To Get Closer To God

Religion And Culture : Christianity

Hey there! i'm hannah, and i've been a christian for 14 years! i don't have as much experience with God as, say, a proffeser of christianity at oxford or whatever but i'm here to help! i go to church almost every sunday but i don't belive that God expects you to go, like everyday. the last thing He wants is rows of bored adults and teenagers slumped in the pews! i don't belive He'll mind either if you don't pray every night, though im sure He loves it when you do. He doesn't expect you to follow every word of the bible- this book was written 2000 odd years ago, He understands times have changed. you may not belive that all of the Bible is true and that is is actually God's word- but i am a conservative and i belive that, over thousands of years several details have been confused and muddled up but there is a meaning behind every story! anyway thats my belief and nothing to do with how to get closer to God. here are the GoLDeN RuLEs
1) As I said, don't think to get closer to God you have to go to church all the time and pray every three hours or whatever. God enjoys hearing from you whenever- you don't have to book appointments. you can pray to Him anytime, any place and about anything. He's always there to listen to your problems and help you out in times of need. God wants to be your best friend- He'll always be there for you and He will love you even if you don't love Him.
2) talk to Him! as I said before, God wants to hear from you! sometimes christians find it very hard to pray- set the right atmousphere for you and use props like crosses or crucifixs! there's loads of items you can buy from christian bookshops which can help you to pray!
3) read the bible! it beats harry potter any day! and if some of the ideas to you seem strange or wrong try and find the hidden meaning behind the passage! if you don't fancy reading the bible try reading a verse a night (you can get special books which give you a verse to read everyday!)
4) join a christian group or event! your local church, youth group and sunday school would be willing to help and they're always there to answer any questions you have about God and Christianity! every month there is a youth christian concert held at my local church and i've been going to a huge christian festival called grassrootz every year now! christian music rocks and it helps you feel so much closer to God and understand some of the stuff he's trying to tell you life and Soul give information about christian events held in kent, england if you wanna know more!

well i hope this helps! in church today it says in paul that it is my duty to pass on God's word and the good news so i'm hoping this helps! jesus is the way to heaven! love ya xxxxxxhannah xxxxxxx
