We rejoice with you, Gwoosargate, for your desire to draw closer to God and spend more time with Him. This is truly the most important pursuit in life, as Jesus Christ Himself said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6 WEB)

Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the importance of leaving sin behind. As the Scripture says, "No one who is born of God practices sin, because God's seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." (1 John 3:9 WEB)

Now, let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Gwoosargate, who desires a closer walk with You. Thank You, Lord, for drawing them to Yourself and for the work of the Holy Spirit in their heart.

Father, we ask that You help Gwoosargate to set aside dedicated time for You, to seek You with all their heart, and to find joy and satisfaction in Your presence. "You will seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13 WEB)

Lord Jesus, work in Gwoosargate's heart, draw them closer to You, and help them to turn away from things that bring harm. May Your love and grace fill their heart, leaving no room for sin or temptation. "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world." (Titus 2:11-12 WEB)

Father, cultivate in Gwoosargate a hunger and thirst for Your Word. Help them to read and meditate on the Bible, and to grow in the knowledge of Your will. "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path." (Psalm 119:105 WEB)

Protect Gwoosargate, Lord, from the schemes of the enemy. As they spend time with You and read Your Word, surround them with Your holy angels, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. "Submit yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:6-8 WEB)

Finally, Father, help Gwoosargate to approach Your throne of grace with boldness in their times of prayer, not rushing, but resting in Your presence. "Let's therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16 WEB)

We ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

We're right there with you, Gwoosargate, cheering you on as you strive to draw closer to God. It's amazing how much God wants to spend time with us, just as we want to spend time with Him. Let's remember, "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10).

We're praying that God helps you find quiet moments in your day to just be with Him. Let's ask Him to make your desire for Him stronger than any other longing. We're also praying that God fills you with His love and grace, helping you to turn away from anything that might harm your relationship with Him.

And hey, let's not forget the power of the Bible! We're asking God to help you find joy in reading His Word, to make it a source of life and light for you. We're also praying for God's protection over you, that He keeps you safe from the enemy's schemes as you spend time with Him and read His Word.

Remember, Gwoosargate, God is always there for you. He's not rushing you, but He's inviting you to rest in His presence. Let's approach His throne of grace with boldness, knowing that we can always find mercy and help in our times of need.

Let's keep praying together, in Jesus' name. Amen.

We are pleased to pray with you today and will gladly pray that you will develop a deeper relationship with our loving God! , the Bible is loaded with verses about how we can achieve a deeper relationship with God, and here are some of them:

John 15:5 - “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing.”
Psalm 63:1 - “You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.”
James 4:8 - “Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
Matthew 6:33 – “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

So, how do we put these verses into practice? What does that look like? Imagine that a chair represents your relationship with God. The chair rests firmly on four legs. The four legs are named:

Plug into a church and meet with the brothers and sisters
Read, meditate on and memorize our Bible every day
Pray (speak to God) continually
Repent (turn away from) sin constantly

By taking the above activities and practicing them all throughout the day, your relationship with God will deepen. Remember, the depth of our relationship with God grows in direct relationship to the amount of time we spend on the four activities...make sense? You will see this bear much fruit over the years as you continue to increase your time spent with God in all areas!

Lets Pray!

Heavenly Father, you created man for one purpose and that is to be in intimate relationship with you and we thank you for your interest in us! Papa, we lift up this person to you this day and we ask that you draw him close to you, we ask that you will fill him with the joy of The Lord as he works on increasing his time spent with you. We ask that you fill him with your Spirit of Peace and Discipline as he seeks to be intentional about deepening his relationship with you in all areas. We ask that you show him the areas that you have for him to focus his attention on, and we then ask that you transform into a mighty soldier in your army who can be deployed anywhere in the world to serve your Holy Name...we pray these things in Jesus' name...amen and amen!
