How can I feel closer to God?
How can I feel closer to God?

Feeling closer to God is much like feeling closer to anyone. As with any relationship, it takes time and effort. But you have this promise: “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you” (James 4:8).

He hears the words you say, understands your thoughts, and will answer your sincere prayers in His own way.
