Is Praying Enough To Get To Close To God? || MCGI Topic Review.
Many times, I feel I’m not close to God enough despite the fact that I pray a lot. I pray every morning and night but the more I read the scriptures and the Bible, I found out that prayer isn’t the only way to get close to God.
Yes, when you pray, it helps to create a bond or special connection between you and God but it’s still not a way or enough way to bring you close to God.
It is good to pray but prayer isn’t only sufficient. If we want to be close to God, we should pray and after we pray, we should begin to do all the things which Gid has ordered us to do. You know that it won’t be good for us to pray and after praying, we should go back to our old ways.
God doesn’t want that.
In the Bible, Matthew 7:7 says; Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
God will surely answer our prayers if we follow His ways and do all the things He has asked us to do. Also, our prayers may be in vain if we pray all day and night but do not act according to His will and rules.
The ways to get close to God is by praying and acting. So, it is left to you to pray and also act because it is not sufficient just to pray and it is also written in the Bible.
This also should not discourage us from praying hard.
Just pray, do good to people, be kind to people, preach the words of God to people and most importantly, pray. Even though prayer is not sufficient, it is still one of the most important things which makes you a good Christian.
Doing good works in addition to prayers is one of the things that grants us access.
