Ways to draw near to God

To begin I love going on walks, I love to just walk around observe everything take it all in all the while just talking to him, I find i connect with him in a different way on my walks than I normally do it has a different flavor if you will. Also I think it might be good to mention to use your talents and what you nejoy. I am a writer and so I use this quite often a friend of mine magenta makes the most amazing art I have ever seen and she uses this as well, another friend of mine is a singer and she loves nothing more than to wake up in the morning watch the sunrise and praise God.

I spend a lot of time alone so I bond close to God in my deep thoughts. When I am in need of a higher power, I also seek God and bond this way. When I realize how much evil there is, while at times I ask where is God, I also know that God is in control so I bond this way as well. Talking with other Christian friends also helps me bond more with God. Also, sometimes watching certain movies or listening to Christian songs helps me bond with God. I also bond with God when I think about God or pray.

So I wanted to make a thread to post ways you draw near and connect to God and to encourage others to try as well. There is nothing more important than the bond we have with him and deepening that bond is just as important.
I will admit while I wanted to make a thread to bring the church closer to god it is also kind of a selfish thing for me as my one true dream is to test the limits and exceed the boundaires in the love closeness intimacy and bonds with him to go further in that kind of love than anyone ever has.
Maybe that isn't even possible and maybe it isn't even something I can actually have but if this thread can help bring others closer to him then I wanted to at least try.

To start there is the obvious communion with him reading the word praying and talking with him spending time with him and with other believers but what about more unspecified things?

I love sunsets and I have a medium sized pool in back yard and I love to just sit in the waters looking at the sky in wonder of his majesty and especially at night I love to look at the moon and stars and just soak him in.

And now i pass the baton to the next person

One of my favorite ways is to hop onto my small motorboat and go out to my favorite island in the middle of my favorite river. I go out at about dusk and then set up my catfishing rods and then just sit on the shore and wait. Under the stars, moon, and the open sky on a dark night out in the middle of the wild - there I meet God. And occasionally a nice catfish is an added bonus!

One way I'm learning to draw closer to God is by drawing closer to others. As the old wounds build bridges between us and I learn to care for others in a genuine way I find myself able to receive from God more readily. Learning to experience God through other people's eyes and hearing their stories and sharing my own all help me to come closer to God.

This kind of reminds me of one Sunday morning I got up early and went out side. I live in farm country so basically there is only fields and woods and such. There is a pond about 100 yards from my house. I couldn't go to church because the fear of covid, (not in me, but how things are run now). So I went out to pray and thank God for all he has done and for how he has blessed me. The sun was just up so the morning sky was beautiful with colors in the clouds, and the bird songs were just over whelmingly loud it seemed as it were a hundred birds all singing their individual songs. The wonderful moment was just fill with awe of what God has created here for us.
I don't pray like many people seem to. I pray when ever and where ever. I just start out by addressing him and then just speaking my heart and mind to him. Walking in a field or driving to work or struggling with something. Any way I just wanted to share.
