Highlights
Feeling God's presence is connected to knowing and understanding God's Word. The strength of our walk with God is connected to how deep we study God's Word.
Many desire to feel God's presence but struggle with where to start. Prayer and reading can feel unfulfilling. There are steps to help you get to that place again.
Find a quiet, private place to devote to seeking God. Being intentional and choosing a dedicated spot is key.
Challenge yourself to go deeper in prayer, gradually increasing the frequency or duration. Study more about the prayer through books or videos.
Actively do what God wants you to do, as revealed in your Bible studies. Don't just pray and read the Bible, really walk in God's will for your life.
Completely surrender your goals, desires, ambitions, weaknesses, and possessions to God. Ask Him what He wants you to do with them.
Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Find ways to make your desires, your roles, your thoughts, and your actions godly and dedicated to God.
Discipline may seem painful at the time, but it produces righteousness and peace. Embrace discipline and don't back down as you fight for God.
The seven steps don't always need to be done, but should be a lifestyle. Increase in God and decrease in yourself. Keep fighting because God is there and Jesus loves you.
