How To Draw Closer To God In May

Drawing closer to God doesn’t require a perfect routine or hours of free time. It just requires intention. Small, consistent choices that prioritize him over everything else competing for your attention. This May, don’t just ask God for more — pursue him for more. Seek his presence, not just his provision. And watch how everything shifts when you make him the center again.

  • Start your mornings with God, not your phone.
  • Be honest in your prayers instead of performing in them.
  • Create space for stillness — silence is where you hear him clearest.
  • Read Scripture slowly, letting it settle instead of rushing through
  • Obey what he has already shown you — closeness comes through trust, not just talk.
  • Prioritize community with people who strengthen your faith.
  • Let go of what’s creating distance between you —hurt, bitterness, unconfessed sin.
  • Pay attention to where you feel peace — that’s often where God is speaking.
  • Thank him for what you have instead of fixating on what you don’t.
  • End your day by surrendering what you’ve been carrying back into His hands.
