How to Become Closer to God as a Christian

Method
1
Praying to God-
Become comfortable with your faith. If you are unfamiliar with God, and have not been active in your religion, take the time to get to know Him. Perhaps you can begin by locking yourself in your room. This will help you to feel that you are now alone with the Sustainer.
2
Try to clear your mind. Take a deep breath and then say aloud, "Hi, God. I saved this time for You. Will You please come and be close to me?" This may feel absurd at first, but understand that God truly listens and cares. Remember, "Ask and you shall receive." There is also nothing wrong with asking for God to talk to you.
3
Speak to a friend or someone you really trust. Unloosen your tongue and tell God all that bothers you. Tell Him something that you are thankful for, that has recently happened in your life. For example, thank Him if your team won a big game, someone you like asked you out, or for the new friend you made. God listens and understands always, so you will not have to feel silly.
4
Do not come off as proud or boastful. Do not pray for anything fancy: Try to address the big things in your life. Nothing is too little to ask about when asking for help and wisdom. Prayer should not be self-centered.
5
Realize that God has his own reasons, His timeline. Trust Him. You may not get exactly what you want when you want it, but He does everything for a reason.
