3 Simple Ways to Connect with God Today

Discover how to connect with God. There are simple ways we can make space for God in our everyday life. It doesn’t need to be complicated, it just needs to be real.

I still don’t know how I can be praising God in worship on a Sunday morning and feel so far away from Him by Monday. Sure, I could put worship on or read my Bible, but when life gets busy I seemed to lose that closeness I felt in His presence. Every week was the same: go to church, feel close to God, start my week and wonder where He is. Did He leave? Did I?

I struggled with the disconnect between how I feel on Sunday mornings and how things looked on a Tuesday afternoon. Life felt busy, chaotic, and lacking the peace and connection I had during worship.

I set out to find ways to connect with God with 2 rules in mind:

  1. It had to be simple
  2. It had to be meaningful

I’ve tried books and studies, online groups and apps, prayer times, and journals. Some are amazing (like these), but sometimes I just need to get super basic. In all of that, there have been 3 things I keep coming back to that work in the middle of all the messiness of life.

Connect with God by Saying Hello

It can be as simple as starting with His name. Jesus. Father. Lord. Whatever name you want to use for God that day.

This isn’t a prayer time, but more of a hello, a greeting, an invitation. Recognizing that we see Him and welcome Him into our day reminds us that He’s there.

Use The Bible to Connect with God

Don’t skim over this. His Word is for you.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a single verse or a whole book. It could be in an old family Bible or a verse of the day app on your phone.

One single verse.

Be present in His Word and you will have a deeper connection with God. Sometimes it’s even as simple as filling your social media feed with things that will fill your soul.

Listen Wisely to Connect with God
