Just as Jesus stayed connected to God through constant prayer, you can strengthen your relationship with God by talking to Him throughout the day. It’s not about long prayers but about inviting God into every part of your day—when you wake up, before meals, during challenges, in moments of gratitude, and before bed. This helps you stay grounded in faith, find peace, and develop a habit of seeking God’s guidance.
