A Spiritual Practice to Help You Reconnect With God
Do You Ever Feel Disconnected from God?
If you’re anything like me, there are days when you just feel distant, or even disconnected from God.
And honestly? That’s more common than we admit.
Our relationship with God isn’t all that different from our relationships with the people we love. Sometimes the distance creeps in slowly—through misunderstanding, lack of quality time, or just the endless swirl of our daily to-do lists.
Here’s the good news:
God is always ready to reconnect. Always.
In my own walk, I’ve found that the most vibrant, life-giving connection with God happens through prayer, reading His Word, and being in community with other believers who are running after Jesus too.
But what really deepens that connection for me is meditating on Scripture and having honest, two-way conversations with the Holy Spirit.
One practice that has helped me immensely is Lectio Divina—which simply means “Divine Reading.” If you haven’t heard of it before, it’s a beautiful way to read Scripture slowly and prayerfully, inviting God to speak through each word. This video is a great introduction if you want to learn more.
And while Lectio Divina is powerful on its own, pairing it with journaling has been even more fruitful. Writing out my thoughts, prayers, and reflections helps me process what God is saying and anchors it in my heart.
If that sounds like something your soul could use, I’ve put together a two-week plan to guide you through it. You can make a copy for yourself right here.
Here’s one of my recent reflections—from time spent in Acts 7:55–60, the story of Stephen’s stoning.
As I read it, two things really jumped out to me.
First, we’re told Stephen was filled with the Holy Spirit, and that he looked intently into heaven—and what he saw was the glory of God, with Jesus standing at the right hand of the Father.
But right in the middle of this holy moment, the vision was disrupted (at least for the reader). The crowd throws him out and begins to stone him. Even then, Stephen calls out to Jesus to receive his spirit, and—pay attention to this—he falls to his knees and cries, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.”
Then he died.
Here’s what struck me:
When we, like Stephen, are filled with the Holy Spirit and intentionally seek the Lord—we will see Him. He’s already there. But when our hearts are aligned, His glory shines through the fog of our circumstances.
Stephen was so rooted in Jesus that even his final words mirrored Christ’s words from the cross: “Do not hold this sin against them.” That’s the heart of a true disciple.
Some questions to reflect on:
Are you asking the Holy Spirit to continually fill you—and looking with intent to see God?
Are you abiding in Jesus and letting Him abide in you, so His glory becomes visible?
Can you ask God to forgive those who’ve wronged you—even when it hurts?
Are you willing to lay down your life, in whatever way He asks, as a living testimony of His love and mercy?
May we, like Stephen, be so full of the Spirit that our lives—and even our suffering—point to Jesus.
Let’s keep our eyes fixed on Him. His glory is closer than we think.
With Peace and Purpose,
Krissy
