I love Jehovah because he hears my voice, my pleas for help.—Ps. 116:1.

 

One way to respond to Jehovah’s love is by talking to him in prayer. Your love for God will grow as you tell him about your concerns and thank him for all that he does for you. And the bond between you and Jehovah will be strengthened as you see how he answers your prayers. You will become convinced that he understands you. But to grow close to Jehovah, you need to understand his way of thinking. And you need to know what he wants from you. The only way you will gain that knowledge is by studying his Word, the Bible. So learn to appreciate it. Only the Bible contains the truth about Jehovah and his purpose for you. You show that you appreciate the Bible by reading it each day, by preparing for your personal Bible study session, and by applying what you learn. (Ps. 119:97, 99;John 17:17) Do you have a personal Bible reading schedule? Do you follow that schedule, making sure that you read the Bible each day? w20.03 5 ¶8-9

[Sister Twister]

As with a good friend you need to know them well , understand them before you trust and confide in them. By studying the bible we learn more about Jehovah through Jesus and learn to appreciate the meaning of the sacrifice he made , as we lean about Jesus the perfect reflection of Jehovah we are moved to speak freely to Jehovah through Jesus and can enjoy a warm relationship with them.

[Mamee]

The best to draw close to Jehovah and to know what he requires of us is to pray to him, study his word the bible, and apply what we learn, then our love for him will grow.

[Vinnie]

With the wonderful power of pray and some studying of God's word, comes the understanding that we are never alone. We can always cry out to Jehovah for help.  There is much to be thankful for. His mercy, wisdom, patience and love for us is shown in subtle but true ways.
