Humility
Like in the encounter between Moses and God at the burning bush in Exodus 3:2-4:17, one should approach the encounter with a sense of humility and an awareness of their own limitations.
Bible says that Moses hid his face, it was a great humility in reverence to God
Exod.3.6 - Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

Obedience
As demonstrated in the encounter between Jonah and God in Jonah 1-4, one should be obedient to God's will and listen to His commands.
In such encounter there are remarkable communication between God and man
Jonah.1.4 - But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
But in the case of Moses, he did not than obeying God, he acted according to God's command.
Disobedience in the encounter could lead to disaster, this was what happened to Jonah, Jonah 1:4

Faith
Like in the encounter between Abraham and God in Genesis 12-2,
Gen.12.2 - And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
One should approach the encounter with faith and trust in God's plan and purpose. One of the reasons for encounter is God's plan and His purpose can be revealed, one must have faith
Wisdom
Like in the encounter between Solomon and God in 1 Kings 3, one should seek wisdom and guidance from God to make wise decisions.

Righteousness
Like in the encounter between Daniel and the angel Gabriel in Daniel 9:20-27, one should strive to live a righteous and holy life, pleasing to God.
By keeping all these considerations in mind, one can have a deeper and more meaningful encounter with God and be guided by His wisdom and grace.
