Zephaniah 3:2 She has not obeyed His voice, She has not received correction; She has not trusted in the Lord, She has not drawn near to her God.
Our duty to God is summed up pretty well in these words from the prophet Zephaniah where the wickedness of Jerusalem is described.
The people had not obeyed God, not listened to correction, not trusted God and were not trying to be close to God either.
We need to listen to Him, obey His commandments, listen when He corrects us, trust in Him and His ways. All these will bring us closer to God, but none more so than lifting up honest and earnest prayers.
Be in constant contact with God because He is constantly watching over us.
