The feeling of connecting with God or a higher power is a very personal and deep experience that is beyond language and logic. It is a spiritual bond that penetrates to one's core and transcends the physical realm. This connection is typically described as a pervading sense of peace, love, and divine presence.

When people occasionally feel linked to God or a higher power, they typically have a strong sense of direction, comfort, and purpose. They might experience intense inner knowing, enhanced awareness, or gratitude. When you pray, meditate, or think back, you can sense this connection. Even when going about your normal business, you may sense it. It acts as a reminder that something more powerful than ourselves is in charge and it provides calmness, strength, and wisdom.

The intricacies of this bond may differ from person to person, but it always has the ability to change a person's life. It can give people purpose and direction, give them solace in difficult times, and instill hope and self-assurance in their capacity to successfully navigate life's journey. A deeply personal experience of feeling a connection with God or a higher power can be the catalyst for the beginning of a spiritual journey of self-discovery.

- Okay. What's the first moment you can remember where you felt God in your life? - Ooh, actually, it's, I mean, it's easy. It's funny, I don't remember much about my early childhood or anything like that, but when I was 12 or 13 I was riding a bike home from school and I can remember that I was praying about something that probably wasn't that serious. It probably wasn't serious at all, and that we'd always sort of been taught to pray. And I believe you can pray anytime, anywhere. And I just remember this overwhelming sense of just joy, and that's the only way I could describe it. And it was so strong that to this day, I remember it. It was my first of what I would consider a spiritual experience, and maybe I've had less than, you know, maybe just a handful of those my whole life. So it was really important for me because I just felt like I wasn't alone, it wasn't just me, that there was somebody, something, you know, looking down on me. And in my Christian background, I mean I just understood that to be my Heavenly Father, you know? So that was it. - Okay. - [Interviewee] How about you? - First thing that comes to my mind, my whole life, I've been in and outta the hospital with a super bad autoimmune disease. Many, many doctors, tests and just a bunch of stuff and everything. And when I was about eight, I got really, really sick, probably the sickest I've ever been in my life. And I was in the hospital for a few weeks and my mom wanted have me have a blessing, you know, to try and just see what we could do. And when I was getting blessed, like I just had this overwhelming feeling of just emotion, like, that's the only way I can explain it. It was just such a surreal feeling, I've never felt anything like that in my entire life. And I was definitely like, there's no way that an eight year old felt like anything like that, besides just from God. Like, there's no way, like. Yeah. - That's cool you can remember for me. - Yeah. You could've given me a puppy, a pony, whatever. Like, I would've never felt anything like that, you know? Besides what I felt that night. And I just felt just so, just genuinely just good, you know? Like I had been so sick and I didn't feel good and everything. And yeah, that was just such a surreal feeling, and I remember it just like it was yesterday.
