Drawing near to God involves seeking Him wholeheartedly through prayer, worship, and reading His Word.

This reciprocal relationship strengthens our faith and empowers us to walk in His will.

How does prayer help us grow spiritually?
It makes us feel better... that is it. It does not help in any other way because there is no God and even if there was he does not answer any prayers.AnswerPrayer is simply communicating with God and being closer to his presence as a result. Prayer is not just simply asking for things. It involves acknowleging God as Lord, praise, confession, praying for others, praying for ourselves, asking for guidance, and simply 'being' in the presence of God. And, of course, listening for God speaking to us through his Holy Spirit.Therefore prayer helps us draw closer to God by 2-way communication, and, as a result of growing nearer to him, we grow spiritually ourselves.
