God wants to have a deep conversation with you. Why? Because He wants you to feel comfortable speaking to Him and opening your heart to the wonderful gifts He has to offer! Speaking with God will help grow your faith, lift your mood and feel more impactful in ministry. God wants to have a relationship with you; you just have to listen to what He is saying.

Easier said than done? It doesn’t have to be. Having a deep and meaningful conversation with God starts with having an open heart and a willingness to learn and accept Him. It can be easy to fall into the habit of having quick chats with God through a daily prayer, but is that allowing you to speak to Him about what is really happening in your life? Does it allow you to listen to what He responds with?

Build a real relationship with God by allotting time to dedicate to building a relationship. Deep conversations with the Lord will change the way you live your faith!

Feel God’s Presence

Although God is constantly present with you, you can sense His presence especially well during prayer. The Bible promises that when you draw near to God, He will draw near to you. God does so by communicating to you through His Holy Spirit. Prayer is meant to be a two-way conversation between you and God. When you experience prayer as a real conversation, you’ll emerge from every prayer session changed for the better. Take time to let go of worldly distractions and focus solely on feeling God’s presence around you. You will be able to build a deep connection by keeping the conversation open and concentrating on God’s responses. Even if you feel you don’t have the words to say, He knows how you feel.
