Reconnecting to God.

Are You Feeling Spiritually Disconnected?

In our daily lives, we rely on connections for power and functionality. A Bluetooth device only works when it is connected. A light bulb only shines when it is connected to its power source. The same is true for our spiritual lives. When we lose our connection with God, we lose our power, our purpose, and the fullness of life that He intended for us.

Many of us walk through life merely existing but not truly living. Jesus Himself said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10, NIV). The devil seeks to disconnect us from God, making us believe that we can live independently of Him. But do not be deceived—true life is found only in Christ Jesus.

Reconnection to God is not a one-time event; it is a constant need. We often lose that connection because of our shortcomings, sins, and failure to align with God’s will. The ways of the world, carnal desires, and emotional impulses can pull us away, affecting our spiritual connection. This is why we must continually seek God and remain in Him.

Season of Disconnection

I too, for a season, was disconnected from God. I tried my best to do things without His guidance, relying mostly on my own ability and intelligence. But time and time again, I failed. Often, I would find myself returning to Him only when circumstances became dire. Deep in my heart, I knew that I should not only draw near to God in bad times but daily—in both good times and bad.

Though God will never reject those who seek His help in times of trouble, as Christians, this should not become a habit. Too often, we only pray when we need Him the most. This should not be so; instead, we should pray daily, setting our dependence on Him. David, a man after God’s own heart, understood this well. He constantly sought the Lord, not just in distress but also in times of victory and joy. “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” (Psalm 23:1, NIV). He knew that only in the Good Shepherd would he find true sustenance and provision.

David’s life teaches us the importance of seeking God consistently. When he strayed from God, he faced great consequences, yet he always returned with a repentant heart. He prayed, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10, NIV). This should be our prayer as well—a daily pursuit of God’s presence.

How to Reconnect with God

But here’s the good news: God’s grace is sufficient! “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9, NIV). Despite our weaknesses, God does not leave us as orphans in this dark and cruel world. Instead, He has given us His Comforter (John 14:15-21), the Holy Spirit to dwell in us, guiding and strengthening us. Like David, we must pray, also pray “Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.” (Psalm 51:11, NIV). David deeply understood the need and importance of being connected by the presence of God. 

The first step in reconnecting with God is acknowledging our need for Him. When we humble ourselves and recognize our spiritual dryness, we open the door for the Holy Spirit to work in us. David prayed, “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.” (Psalm 139:23, NIV). Allowing God to search our hearts leads to true repentance and transformation only then we can genuinely connect with the living God. 

Salvation and reconnection with God are found only through Jesus Christ. It is not through religion, traditions, or penance, but through a personal relationship with Him. If you have drifted away, take that first step back to the Father. Open your heart, repent, and receive His grace. The mighty hand of God is ready to restore, renew, and reconnect you to the Source of life.

Let today be the day you reconnect with God. Experience the fullness of life in Him!

A Prayer of Reconnection

Heavenly Father, I come before You, acknowledging my deep need for You. Without You, I am lost, weak, and powerless. I confess my sins and shortcomings, and I ask for Your forgiveness. Cleanse my heart, O Lord, and create in me a spirit that longs for You.

Jesus, I accept You as my Savior and Lord. I believe that salvation is found in You alone. Come into my life, renew my heart, and lead me in Your ways.

Holy Spirit, I invite You to dwell within me. Guide my steps, teach me Your truth, and fill me with Your presence. Reconnect me back to You, Lord, so I may walk in Your will daily and never stray from Your love.

Thank You, Lord, for Your grace and love. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
