Hello to you all, greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, how are you all doing, hope you all are fine, today i want to share with you all something  that would  be of great benefit to your christian life, I want to share with us today on "7 Ways in which we can reach the heart of God". Relax, read through and be blessed.


The Bible makes us understand that, “Look to the LORD and His strength; seek His face  always” (1 Chronicles 16:11). As Christians, we know that the  all-powerful God of the universe loves us and wants to talk with us, but  it doesn’t always seem that way. When we can’t hear His voice, we begin  to ask ourselves why prayer is so hard at times and why some of our  prayers go unanswered. Now also know this that  Appealing to God to answer prayer can be likened to the ways in  which children learn to convince their parents to act on their behalf.  There are certain approaches that are more effective than others. In  fact, the basis from which appeals are made can make a huge difference  in how a request is answered. It’s important that we pray with confidence and  joy, approaching God as His beloved child. 

How much more can we as children of our Heavenly Father know how to touch His heart? 

The truth is there are proven ways to convince  God to answer our prayers! I use the word “convince” here advisedly,  understanding that prayer is not so much a process of convincing God as  it is discovering His will and His ways in order to use that as the  basis for our request. 

Here are seven ways to reach  the heart of God. When we begin to put these tips into practice, we  discover how to pray more persistently, humbly, and boldly, overcome  common hindrances to effective prayer and combine reverence, expectancy,  and a tenacious hold on God’s promises. 

1.  Confess Your Sins

One of the best ways to feel secure in  your faith is by confessing all your sins to God, and continually  choosing to accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Sin is the ultimate  barrier to a relationship with God, and confessing our sins before Him  breaks down that wall. When we confess our sins before God, He promises  to forgive us (1 John 1:9), and forgiveness is what restores a  relationship that has been strained. When we repent for our sins, we  should be heartfelt, open and honest. We have to fully acknowledge the  severity of our sins and how they took us away from God. 

2.  Admit You Can’t Do Everything On Your Own

A  relationship with God your creator is the best  relationship you can have. One of the first steps to reaching the heart  of God and gaining a closer relationship with Him is admitting that you  need Him in your life. The reality is that we can’t do everything on  our own, so admitting this will not only show a sense of humility in  your life, but will also show God that you have faith in His strength  and His promises. The closer you walk with God, the less room there is  for anything to come between you.  

3.  Live In the Reality of God’s Love

Are you rooted and established in  love? You may not always feel like or believe that you are but because  you are in Christ, you are established in Him. The goal is to walk in,  talk in, and live in the reality of God’s love, a love that grounds us  and establishes us regardless of the storms we face. The Bible tells us,  “God is love and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in  them” (John 4:16). God is not in the least bit surprised or taken off  guard by the storms you are facing today; His love is bigger than  anything you’re going through. To be filled to the measure of all the  fullness of God, and to be filled with the all-surpassing love of Christ  is to be transformed from the inside out.  It’s to dare to come boldly  into God’s great presence and ask Him for the impossible, unachievable  and inconceivable.  

4.  Refuse to Leave God Alone

Give God the desire of His heart.  He wants to be with you and spend time with you. Be so committed that  the habit of communicating with God takes a permanent hold on your life.  Talk to the Lord about your desire to be with Him. By verbalizing your  commitment, you remind yourself to have a fruitful walk with God. Find  devoted time to be in fellowship with Him. Miraculous things will begin  to happen when we refuse to leave God alone. If you commit yourself to  prayer, you will see the abundant life that comes from a powerful prayer  life.  

5.  Submit to God

As Christians, we want to prevail  in spiritual battle. The Bible tells us, “Submit yourselves, then, to  God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). We want  power in our prayers and we want to see results. We have dreams and  desires we want to see fulfilled. However, at times our prayers may feel  like they’re bouncing off the ceiling or going unanswered. It’s  important to remember in these moments that God sometimes delays the  breakthrough so He can prepare us to steward the gift or opportunity  He’s about to entrust to us. Sometimes, He makes us wait because He’s  making us ready. But other times, we’re our own hindrance for our  unanswered prayers. Our choices are often the biggest roadblocks. Prayer  is ultimately about becoming who you are meant to be in Christ. When we  submit to God, we not only hear what God is saying to us, but we also  discover who God wants us to be. 

6.  Base Your Faith in God’s Sovereignty

The Bible promises that “He who  began a good work in You will carry it on to completion until the day of  Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6). Because of this, we have to base our  faith on God’s sovereignty – what He has done and is doing in our lives  rather than on our feelings. Scripture also says, “If we are faithless,  He will remain faithful, for He cannot disown himself” (2 Timothy 2:13).  Even if your faith is fading, God remains faithful toward you. His  commitment to you never changes. This also doesn’t mean that we should  completely ignore our feelings. Sometimes our feelings are a pretty good  indication of where we are spiritually.  

7.  Make The Bible the Center of Your Prayer Life

Do you want to see impact, life  transformation and blessing that you never thought possible? Do you want  to receive God-sized, Kingdom-level answers to your prayers? There’s no  better place to turn than the pages of God’s incredible, inspired and  anointed prayer book. The Bible tells us, “Every word of God is pure He  is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him” (Proverbs 30:5).   Commit right now to make your Bible the center of your life. Make the  declaration that no matter what you’re facing right now, you can turn to  Scripture and discover that God is writing a bigger story with your  life, and your circumstances will not have the last say. 


Hope you have been blessed by this wonderful piece, keep in touch, have a nice day
