How can you improve your relationship with God during this pandemic?
Constant communication with God
Imagine for a second of your best friend. Suppose you've never talked to each other. You didn't share your joys or your sorrows. Your relationship is almost certainly going to end soon. Since close relationships require constant and good communication, and our relationship with God requires the same. We must communicate with God very frequently through prayer if we seek to make our relationship strong with Him.
Seek for silence
God wants to speak with us, but our lives are usually too busy enough and chaotic to hear His voice. Silence is exactly what we require. For thousands of years, men and women known as "hermits" abandoned their daily lives in seek of silence and solitude in the desert. Since of COVID-19, everything here is turned down, and we can unexpectedly find the same silence in our residences (as far as we make sure to put our phones off or do-not-disturb mode!). Daily, try to get a few minutes of silence. It might sound unpleasant because we are not accustomed to being quiet or silence in our everyday lives. But God is silently and patiently waiting for us to respond his calls.
Study the Bible
Although God communicates with us through silence, He also speaks with us through His Word, “The Bible”. God does have something secret to tell you. Open the Bible everyday make it your habit regardless what is happening in your life right now and what you're feeling or dealing right now. Try more to listen His words in spite of the worldly voices. Open the Bible and read every day if you want to develop your relationship with God. Begin from the verses, and read a single chapter for a few minutes every day.
Search for ways to connect with your
community.
"No man is an island," said John Donne, which is absolutely true in the realm of our faith. We're not the only ones who think this way. We need a location where we may celebrate our victories, seek support in times of adversity, as well as to pray together. We require a community. While we may not be able to meet in person at this very moment, but we may still connect with one another through other ways, such as social media- Zoom, Google Meet, Facebook, YouTube, and other social media platforms provide numerous alternatives.
"He wants to be closer to us despite all the
uncertainty, hardships, and probably even boredom. The most crucial thing
we can do right now is to develop the relationship with
Him by spending more time in prayers, reading Bible and avoiding
all the worldly distractions".
