Connecting with God - Jonas Marie Jeanne
We all strive for and seek a connection with God, but sometimes we may feel like we are missing the boat or getting it wrong. Yet God, the creator of the universe, desires a deep connection with us. We were created for relationship with him, and can build connection with God through words, worship and prayer.

2. Connecting to God through worship
Psalm 147:1 (NIV)
Praise the Lord. How good is to sing praises to our God; how pleasant and fitting to praise him! It is good to praise the Lord.
- "Singing is the natural expression of the redeemed soul." When we realise what God has done for us, it is easy to praise him.
Genesis 24:26 (NIV)
Then the man bowed down and worshipped the Lord.
- We can also worship through bowing. Bowing is an act of respect, submission and humility. It is not just a physical action but a progressive state of mind.

3. Connecting to God through prayer
- Prayer is a place where you close your eyes and call out to God.
- Jesus always found time to disconnect from the world, by going to a quiet place to connect to his Father through prayer.
- "True prayer is the trading of the heart with God." - Charles Spurgeon
