Your Relationship With Spirit

Reflect on your unique relationship with Spirit. Simple questions and practices to begin or deepen your connection with the Divine.

During a recent meditation, a reflection came forward that I feel called to share. In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, I’ve heard many people say that it caused them to pause and consider their own relationship with God.

Whether you admired him or not, one truth he proclaimed often was his devotion and service to God above all else. That kind of declaration has a way of stirring something deep inside us. It invites us to look inward and ask, Where do I stand in my own spiritual journey?

Religion, for many, offers a broad framework for spirituality. It provides structure, language, and tradition. But ultimately, each of us walks a unique path. Our relationship with Spirit—God, Source, All-That-Is—is deeply personal and ever-evolving.

If you’re unsure where to begin, try starting small.

✨ Find a quiet space where you can be present without distraction.
✨ Ask yourself: Do I believe in a power greater than myself?
— If not, why?
— If yes, what qualities or characteristics do I assign to that presence? Why?

These questions open the door to dialogue. Spirit always responds to openness. Sometimes it’s through a passing comment from a friend, a book that falls into your lap, or even a subtle nudge in your heart. Each little moment is an invitation to lean in closer.

Trust what resonates. Your soul knows the truth of it. This is how your relationship with Spirit begins—through curiosity, reflection, and listening for the gentle whisper within.

Remember, no two journeys are the same. What matters most is not how your path compares to someone else’s, but that you take the next step that feels right for you.

P.S. Charlie grew into his deep love and service to God over time. You, too, can begin your own path—one small step at a time.
