Carving out time to talk to God becomes another item on the list of things we need to check off.<\/p>\n<p>Over time it becomes lower and lower on the list and eventually goes to bottom of the list. Then before we even realize it, our relationship with God has become something we do on special occasions or not at all. You don\u2019t need a bunch of books or time to prepare; there is no exact equation that is required to make you have a better and more meaningful interaction with our God.<\/p>\n<p>All you need is a willing and open heart. That is the first step that opens the door to improving and going deeper with God. There may not be a magic formula that can provide you the exact way to achieve your goal of improving your <a href=\"http:\/\/udiwonder.com\/word\/topics\/relationship\/\">relationship<\/a> with God but, below are just a few of the several ways you can begin to build and grow the relationship.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"beliefnet-gallery-image image-slide\">\n<h2 class=\"\">1.

In that way, fasting can be looked on as a power tool for building our relationship with\u00a0God.<\/p>\n<p>But there are some things to understand first. Biblical fasting is not for show (Matthew 6:16-18). It\u2019s not to be undertaken lightly if your doctor or parents (if you\u2019re under 18) object. It\u2019s not to try to get something from others or to try to force God to do what we want (Isaiah 58:3-4).<\/p>\n<p>Fasting should first and foremost be about personally drawing near to God (James 4:7-10; 1 Peter 5:6-7). It should also be about compassion and sharing with others (Isaiah 58:6-7).<\/p>\n<p>Since God is the source of all power, draw closer to Him and cast all your cares and worries on Him, this will give us the spiritual strength we need, even while feeling physically weak.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"beliefnet-gallery-image image-slide\">\n<h2 class=\"\">4.

The question we have to ask our self is would we push through? Or, would we get dragged down into the depths of our own despair? It is very easy to allow our circumstances to get the best of us, give up or become discouraged.<\/p>\n<p>Notwithstanding, God wants to use our difficulties to strengthen our faith, and our job is to trust in Him and know that He knows the outcome of our trials. We have to keep moving forward, with God\u2019s guidance- sometimes we can only look forward to the next moment but then we should stop and remember to thank God for allowing us that moment, and trust that He has everything under control. When you feel negativity start to seep into your mind, open the Bible and start reading God\u2019s truth, it will help you to keep going.<\/p>\n<p>The definition of perseverance is doing something, even when you don\u2019t want to, with willingness, a good attitude, humble acceptance of the situation and then making the steps to move forward.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"beliefnet-gallery-image image-slide\">\n<h2 class=\"\">5.

God put His people in His Church to support, encourage and learn from each other (1 Corinthians 12:25-26; Philippians 2:1-5). Of course we also can offend and hurt each other, but one of His goals is for us to learn to reconcile and to get along. In that way, the Church is a workshop for living His way of\u00a0life.<\/p>\n<p>Biblical fellowship is a three-way relationship between us, God and His people (1 John 1:3). God puts us each in His Church where He wants us, with our own specific part to play (1 Corinthians 12:18, Ephesians 4:16). He listens lovingly to our conversations and records His precious people in a book of remembrance (Malachi 3:16-17).<\/p>\n<p>God warns us not to \u201cneglect our meeting together\u201d. And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
