Psalm 4:3-4

But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself (and dealt wonderfully with) the godly man. The Lord hears and responds when I call to Him. Tremble (with anger or fear) and do not sin; meditate in your heart upon your bed and be still (reflect on your sin and repent of your rebellion).

We must maintain our right standing with God. God expects us to grow and increase in wisdom and knowledge of Him through His word. That may mean we have to slow down the pace of our lives and focus on the Lord daily. Every good relationship takes time and effort, and a relationship with God changes our lives.
