There are lots of ways to get close to God. One way I am going to tell you about is “Journal to God”. By doing this, all you need is paper and any writing utensil you want to use. By using this strategy, you can let out all of your mixed feelings or emotions.
For instance, you can write about something good to tell your journal (God), to write about whatever it is that made you excited, happy or very glad. If you want to write about something upsetting, you can tell your journal (God) about what made you sad, upset or mad.
I usually use my journal to write about something upsetting, which lets all my icky feelings out, that way I’m not stuck with all those icky feelings inside me. When I don’t let my upset feelings out in my journal, it’s hard to control my tongue, and I don’t think before I speak.
God loves you no matter what, even if you have sinned. Love God with all your heart. He will always forgive you, and he’s perfect in every way you can imagine. God will show you the path that you should go on to get to him. God is good!
