If you long to grow closer to God but feel stuck in prayer, striving, or spiritual dryness, this simple pathway will help you begin. These steps are designed to help you sit with God in abiding prayer, receive the Father’s love, practice His presence throughout the day, and learn to live from rest, freedom, and love.
Step 1: Learn to Sit With God
The journey begins with abiding prayer — learning how to quiet the heart, turn toward God, and remain with Him.
This is not about trying hard to have a dramatic experience. It is about becoming present to the One who is already present with you.
Step 2: Learn to Receive the Father’s Love
As you spend time with God, deeper issues often surface: fear, shame, disappointment, striving, or difficulty trusting Him.
The Father’s love brings healing to these places. Instead of trying to fix yourself, you learn to bring your heart honestly before God and receive His love where you need it most.
Step 3: Learn to Practice His Presence Throughout the Day
Abiding prayer is not meant to stay in a quiet room. What we receive in prayer is meant to be carried into work, family, decisions, pressure, and ordinary tasks.
Practicing God’s presence means learning to talk with God throughout the day, turn your attention back to Him, and live in continual fellowship with Jesus.
Step 4: Learn to Live from Rest, Freedom, and Love
Over time, the goal is not just better prayer habits. The goal is a transformed way of living.
As you learn to abide in Christ and live from the Father’s love, your life begins to bear different fruit: more peace, more patience, more love, more emotional balance, and a deeper awareness of God in all things.
