We get it, those things can feel daunting if you\u2019ve never done them before! Below are some tips and resources to help you grow in your faith through prayer and reading your Bible.<\/span><\/p><h1 class=\"_qaQP6rvk _pwXKtPy2\" data-id=\"_pwXKtPy2\"><span class=\"_VWvqNvR9 _b47mHvzL _3JdPm85O\" data-id=\"_b47mHvzL\" data-name=\"title\">Prayer<\/span><\/h1><p class=\"_7XqAY8_A _0M6mhPM8\" data-id=\"_0M6mhPM8\"><span class=\"_VWvqNvR9 _VGw0h0jb _ZGwmb_O6\" data-id=\"_VGw0h0jb\" data-name=\"text\">Start praying (talk to God and approach him in Jesus\u2019 name\u2026God hears you\u2026really!). There aren\u2019t any magic words. Just talk with God like you\u2019d talk with a friend. You can be honest and straightforward. It starts with your desire to connect with and know God and grows from there.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"_7XqAY8_A _rBOdhGaY\" data-id=\"_rBOdhGaY\"><span class=\"_VWvqNvR9 _36M4h46Q _ZGwmb_O6\" data-id=\"_36M4h46Q\" data-name=\"text\">But prayer really comes alive when you pair it with reading your Bible.<\/span><\/p><h1 class=\"_qaQP6rvk _9vZVtOLW\" data-id=\"_9vZVtOLW\"><span class=\"_VWvqNvR9 _vOj_H15a _3JdPm85O\" data-id=\"_vOj_H15a\" data-name=\"title\">Read Your Bible<\/span><\/h1><p class=\"_7XqAY8_A _JBgGh85Q\" data-id=\"_JBgGh85Q\"><span class=\"_VWvqNvR9 _ABkEh_jD _ZGwmb_O6\" data-id=\"_ABkEh_jD\" data-name=\"text\">You can\u2019t have a close relationship with someone you never talk to. It\u2019s impossible. God\u2019s word\u2014the Bible\u2014is the primary way He speaks to us. And it\u2019s the absolute best way to discover how to follow Jesus on a daily basis.
