Getting to Know God

Hey darlings ❣,
Hope you guys are having a good day so far. So my question is, Does one every fully get to know God? Well its something I don't have an answer to but I'll tell you this much, there are ways to communicate with God and to become more aware of who he is and what he does.

Prayer!!!

Prayer is Key. The key to like everything in ones Christian life. Literally think of prayer as a key, when the door is closed what do you use to open it? a key. And what is the key? Prayer.
Prayer is essential when getting to know God. Why? Because prayer is communicating with God, speaking not to him but with him. What other way would you get to know a person in your secular life than by communicating with them. Communication is Prayer and Prayer is Key.

 One can see many times in the bible that with prayer many things happen, when we pray we express our love, thanks, and need of having him. Matthew 7:7-8 shows that when we call he will open and how do we call? Through prayer. Prayer opens doors. Philippians 4:6-7 also shows that prayer is a way to getting to know God. When we pray and we set our anxiety on him he cares for us (1 Peter 5:7
) In this verse we can see two things. Cause and Effect. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God (Cause). And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Effect). We can see that when we call out to God we get to know him. Here we can see that God cares for us and that he will give us strength, this is us knowing him, knowing he cares for us and he will guard our hearts and minds from anything that can harm it. He is our protector.

Always remember, that in this world everything seems to be going the wrong way. This world is displeasing God in almost everything they do and there has to be a strong a faithful remainder that seeks him and get to know who he is. Many times we may question the existence of God or even if he listens to our prayers but we must have a conviction and always be sure that our God is and that he rewards of those who believe in him! Whenever you find yourself doubting or feel like you don't know him as much as you need to, dive on your knees and pray and talk with him and he will give revelation at his time.

Dear God, Please allow me to get to know you more and to be able to understand how you work. I ask you to give me conviction and revelation, as well as wisdom to know that you are real while being surrounded by a world and a society that doesn't always favor you. In Jesus name, Amen.
