‍ ‍ Cultivating Closeness

• Learn His Voice: God very rarely shouts; He usually whispers. Learning how he speaks to you takes time and practice, just like getting to know a close friend.

• Through His Word: The Bible is His "love letter." His guide for us to survive this battle on earth. The best part is the more you read it, the more easily you will recognize his tone in your own daily thoughts.

• The Gentle Nudge: A sudden prompting to pray for someone, text a friend, or show unexpected patience to a difficult person is often the Holy Spirit leading you in real-time.

• A Shift in Perspective: If you enter prayer anxious and leave with a steady, unexplainable peace—even though your circumstances haven't changed—you have just encountered Jesus.
