Jesus, your Saviour, is worthy of all honour and praise. How can you actively seek moments of intimacy with Jesus? Think of how you can allow these encounters to experience his glory and hear his voice speaking to your heart.

To feel closer to Jesus and sense His presence more deeply, consider these 5 simple steps:

Incorporate Jesus into Everyday Life:

Don’t limit your connection with Jesus to just prayer times or church services. Think about Him throughout your day, recognizing His love in the world and people around you.

Reading Scripture:

Regularly reading the Bible allows you to hear from Jesus directly. The Gospels are especially rich with Jesus’ words and actions. Reflect on these passages and ask how they apply to your life.

Find Quiet Moments:

Taking time to be still can greatly improve your ability to hear God’s voice. A few moments of solitude, away from the hustle and bustle, can strengthen your bond with Jesus.

Journal Your Thoughts And Prayers:

Writing about your thoughts, prayers, and observations can clarify your spiritual journey. This practice may reveal how Jesus is responding to your needs and guiding you.

Service:

Jesus demonstrated love through service. Volunteering your time and talents to help others can be a powerful way to experience Jesus’ love and share it with those around you.

By welcoming Jesus into both the mundane and significant moments of your life, and dedicating time to reflect and be quiet, you’ll start to experience a shift in how you perceive Him. 

This approach not only brings you closer to Jesus but also moulds your life according to His plans.
