There are three things that are important for you to grow in God, first pray often, second read the Holy Bible every day, and third get involved in a local church with other Bible believing Christians. But remember to focus on Jesus Christ not on anyone else, everyone else in this life will let you down sometimes, but when you focus on Jesus you have stability because He will never let you down. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with things that you have: for He has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. So that you may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Hebrews 13:5-6)
Prayer is talking to God, prayer is a way of leaving your problems with Him to take care of so you can have peace and hope and joy. Remember to begin a prayer with thanksgiving tell God something you are thankful for, this pleases Him and takes you into His presence. It is impossible to be thankful and be depressed. Be worried for nothing; but in everything ask God through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
The Bible is God's written communication with you. Through knowing what the Bible says you get to know who God is, and you learn to recognize His voice. Everything should be judged and aligned with what the Bible says. Also faith comes by hearing the word of God, so your faith and confidence grow as you learn more of the Bible. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That you as a child of Gods may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (1 Peter 2:2)
Remember to keep your focus on Jesus always; God wrote the book on your destiny, Jesus is your example of how to be and who to be not anyone else on earth. Look unto Jesus the author and finisher of your faith.
If you commit a sin and you feel a separation from God repent and confess it to Him. If you confess your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive you of your sins, and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. (1John 1:9) Once you repent, turn away from sin and turn to the Lord. When you are praying to the Lord ask Him to reveal sin in your life to you, if there are any, He will bring them to your mind so you can confess them and be forgiven.
You must learn how to keep your spiritual eyes focused on Jesus. The most important thing you can do to grow in your relationship with God is to love Him. That means to make knowing God and being close to God the greatest desire of your heart. God’s greatest commandment He gave you is to Love Him with all your heart.
