Step 1

When making Christ a part of your daily activity, there are things God expects of us. These things are not required for Salvation, but once we are saved they are things we want to do.
Step 2

The first daily task is to pray. It sounds simple but it is important that we understand prayer. Prayer is our communication with God. There is more on prayer in the resource section.
Step 3

We also need to Give God daily praise. Everyone likes to be praised and so does God. If you are having trouble with this, look around you. Everything you see is a gift from God. Tell Him how amazing the sunset looks. Tell Him how awesome the ocean is or how majestic the mountains look.
