Through prayer, we can talk to God. It is our responsibility to schedule a time to spend with God because doing so facilitates communication with others as well. We must understand who we are as God’s people so that we can live accordingly.
Because we are human, we depend on God, without Him we are nothing. Along with this, we ought to cultivate positive relationships with others who live nearby. Jesus commanded us to love one another, and when we do, God begins to operate in us and we develop relationships with others.
The following verses from the Bible will motivate us to communicate with God and one another regularly in order to live closely with him. Let’s meditate on these verses and be blessed.
