How can we draw closer to God?

Jehovah invites us to draw close to him by speaking to him in prayer. He is interested in us individually.

O Hearer of prayer, to you people of all sorts will come. — Psalm 65:2.

Jehovah is near to all those calling on him, To all who call on him in truth. — Psalm 145:18.

He is willing to forgive. He recognizes our efforts to please him, even if we sometimes fail. So despite our imperfection, we really can enjoy a close relationship with God.

As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset, So far off from us he has put our transgressions. As a father shows mercy to his sons, Jehovah has shown mercy to those who fear him. For he well knows how we are formed, Remembering that we are dust. — Psalm 103:12-14.

Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you indecisive ones. — James 4:8.

Since Jehovah has given us life, we should love him more than we love anyone else.

And you must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind and with your whole strength. — Mark 12:30

As you express your love for God by learning more about him and doing as he asks, you will draw ever closer to him.

Whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. — 1 Timothy 2:4

For this is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments; and yet his commandments are not burdensome. — 1 John 5:3.
