how I reconnected with God and how YOU can too! 🌺
After many years of considering myself a Christian I came to the realization I think I knew the whole time. I was lukewarm. I was lost and wasn’t living by the Word of God.
Transparency: I started my journey back to the Lord the week before Easter Sunday so I’m still new to serving the Lord! Although my journey has just begun I want to share a few things that has helped me connect with my Savior and find my heart in Him again.
🌸Going to Church: Yes it makes the biggest difference! As a kid I did not like going to church and many people in my church attributed to the reasons I stopped going as a teenager. Although I’m still living in the same city I found a new Church to attend and L O V E it. Sundays are now my favorite part of the week.
🌸Talking to God: Talk to God like He’s your best friend! If you are sitting alone or doing something in silence just start a conversation with God! Tell Him about your day, and really just like how you would your closest friend.
🌸Not using His name in vein: I stopped using God’s name in vein a long time ago but still struggle with it from time to time. I feel like now that I’ve stopped it’s brought me closer to him.
🌸Reading the Bible: I have a goal for myself to spend my time reading the Word before bed each night. Although sometimes I forget I always try to spend as much time studying the Bible as I can. I hope to become better at this is time moves forward but every time I read the Bible I always learn something new about my Father in Heaven. Reading the Bible is so rewarding and has brought me so much closer to God.
🌸Telling people about God: Talk about God to others! Plant the seeds! Telling others about my journey with my Faith has been a struggle, I worry about judgement from other but I do my best to stand on the word and remind myself what Jesus would do. #wwjd
I have more tips to come but I feel right now these are the most important and the ones I would like to share. Of course no one’s Journey to God is a straight line, there will be UP’s and DOWN’s but he is with you. As Psalm 23 says; You will make it; trust me.

Reconnecting with God can be a profound and enriching experience, surpassing mere rituals and touching the essence of one’s heart. For many, this journey begins with acknowledging the aspects of one's life that steer them away from true faith. Engaging with a supportive community through church attendance can facilitate spiritual growth and understanding. Finding a church that resonates with you creates a welcoming atmosphere for exploration and healing. Developing a personal conversation with God, akin to best friend interactions, shifts your spiritual perspective, allowing for an open channel of communication during everyday moments. This method can dispel feelings of loneliness and foster a deeper connection with the divine. Also, refraining from using God’s name in vain nurtures respect and reverence for the divine, further deepening one's relationship with Him. Reading the Bible serves as a source of wisdom and insight, with each passage offering lessons and reflections relevant to daily living. Making it a nightly ritual can cultivate a peaceful end to your day while enhancing understanding of faith. Additionally, sharing your faith journey—though daunting—can be a source of inspiration for others. This act not only reinforces your commitment but also contributes to a collective experience of faith amongst friends and family. As the Psalmist expresses in Psalm 23, trusting in God leads to profound peace, assuring that one will navigate through life's challenges. Remember, this journey can have its ups and downs, but staying committed to your relationship with God is key.
