A relationship with God

This following post was requested by a friend of mine called Sinmi, who wanted me to talk about having a relationship with God.I'd like to start off by saying that I'm not here to tell you that you have to have a relationship with God as I'm not an expert, but establishing a good relationship with God makes this difficult thing called life so much easier. Whether you choose to have a relationship with God is up to you and no one else. The beautiful thing about having a relationship with God is that it's a personal relationship that's between you and God only, no one else. God is the only person that you can truly ever trust and he will always have your back, no matter what. Even when the whole world seems to be against you, God will be there for you. If you don't have a relationship with God at this very moment in time, don't worry because he still has a relationship with you and he loves you regardless of how strong your current relationship with him is. 
How I see it, your relationship with God can take whatever form you want. There are no rules about how you should go about when building your relationship with God. If you feel like fasting, going to church, praying, reading the Bible etc is what you need in order to build a stable and intimate relationship with God then so be it. Do what floats your boat and makes you comfortable. No one has the right to judge how you go about in building a relationship with God.
My relationship with God has helped me a lot through the past couple of months. Exam season can be tough, but with the relationship that I had with God I was able to feel less stressed and I feel like I was able to overcome the difficulties. 
People are often quick to abandon God as soon as the hard times are over, for example as soon as exams are finished. However, this needs to be an ongoing thing. God is not a part time God, he's a full time God so a relationship with God should not be a part time thing but a full time thing.
Just remember: when times are good, pray. When times are bad, pray. When you're up, pray. When you're down, pray. Don't just communicate with God when times are difficult and rough, but communicate with God when times are good also.

As aforementioned, this post was requested by friend and if you have any requests feel free to contact me theghanaianqueen@gmail.com.
