Knowing that God reaches out to me in an amazing way, I may respond by reading the
Bible. When the time I was depressed and having anxiety, and the changes that took place
in my life when the time I allowed God to inspire and change me into something is when he
gave me the love and care that I needed and the attention that I seek for. He inspires me in
a way that someone couldn’t do to me. God inspires me through his word of wisdom and
God saved me from having that thing in me. He inspires me to stand up and never give up
and he even inspires me to do my goals in life and it also makes me a stronger person.

I would describe my relationship with God as a brother, a father, a friend. Because, our God
is always been with us even the time when we are having a problem in life. To me, God is
my home, the place that I could run to when in the time that I needed someone to make me
feel the love that I needed and the care that I seek for. A home that I could finally rest well. I
can say that I have a strong relationship with God for I offer my life to Him--- to nurture my
relationship to Him, I will share the Gospel to others and through worshipping.

I could consider having a strong relationship with God because a personal relationship with
God is just like a relationship with anyone else in your life. It is fellowship, love, and trust
between you and him. It means to know him and to be known by him. It’s much more than
just going to church or even reading our Bibles. We were created for relationship with God.
In fact, it’s our primary purpose in life. I can nurture and nourish my relationship with Him by
praying because this is the most important way to grow our relationship with Him, God never
force us to spend time with Him. So, we have to want to and actively pursue it ourselves.

My life would be in peace and away from chaos and God is the only one who could save
me/ us from our sins and eternal death. The presence of God is the person of God Himself
revealed at a specific time. When the presence manifests, you feel it. His presence is
tangible – you can feel, see, and hear it. It can be felt and it can be seen in the spiritual
realm. The presence can also be perceived, never through a man but through God Himself.
In the book of Genesis, we see God created an atmosphere before creating man. When
God created Eden, it bore the atmosphere of heaven. It was a place where there was total
abundance, provision and peace because His presence was there. If we are not in the right
atmosphere our gifts and calling will not develop to its fullest. God creates atmospheres
intentionally, built and designed for us to grow. He creates that which will sustain us.
The lack of God’s presence is like a fish out of water. The wrong atmosphere can spiritually
deteriorate us. When we live outside of God’s presence by living in sin, there is no covering
or protection of God’s presence over our life. Make sure when you don’t feel His
presence, run to it. If you haven’t felt His presence in a while or you have felt spiritually dry,
those are the warning signs that you must repent of your sins and seek God. Ask Him to
manifest in your life. If you want protection, covering, and be in the place you were called to
be, you must be in the atmosphere of His presence.
