There are principles we can apply to grow close to God and press into our relationship. Recognize that every believer has times in their walk when things feel more “dry” – this doesn’t mean God loves you any less or that your salvation is at risk. God may be allowing our faith wells to “dry up” to push us into deeper relationship with Him.

First, it’s important to vary the ways you encounter God to discover new dimensions about who He is.

Second, in order to grow this relationship – as you would any other relationship – you must invest time and effort. When you continue to pursue God, even when you don’t feel it emotionally, you are going deeper than you realize, because spending time listening to God is never wasted time. God’s word “will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
