Every once in a while we all get to a point in our Christian walk where we may find it difficult to focus. Often we hear the question of “how do I get closer to God spiritually?” If we get to this point and we will at some point or another, we have to remember that something has caused us to veer off from the path. So when people ask me how to get back I usually run down somewhat of a path.

First things first; pray. In other words, seek the Lord in this time with an earnest heart. I like to revert back to a scripture Ps.24:3 which ask the question of who shall ascend unto the hill of the Lord as well as stand in that Holy place? The answer is in in the same passage stating that one with a pure heart and clean hands will do so. This brings us to the point of confession to the Lord. Something may have us separated when we simply can’t be at peace with the Lord for the moment and we need to go and find out what that might be. So, open dialogue in prayer is just one of the best ways to get started to getting back on track.

Diving into the Word will certainly be the next order of business, for it makes me think of how often we forget that life is found in the Word of God. The scripture states that the Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword and able to discern our thoughts and intentions of the heart. There are so many different ways for us to get a Word into our hearts now-a-days that we are truly left without excuse. The first would be to simply open up and the bible and ask God to assist you in the reading and understanding. However, because we are all different, there are different ways that we may go about getting a Word.

Because we all have questions regarding our very own walk from time to time, I believe that writing things down becomes extremely beneficial. Some may keep a prayer journal, but maybe just a journal of what’s going on in your life at the moment. Again, we are all different and do things differently when it comes to journaling our own thoughts.
All these things simply comprise a quiet time that we should all consider a viable part of our own walk. When it comes to getting closer to God spiritually, we must move with intent in order to get back to that place.
