How to build a strong connection with the holy spirit

Life can feel like a battlefield. Our personal and professional priorities constantly fight for our attention. On any day there can be dozens of important tasks to be done, yet so often we miss what’s most important. As Christians, how do we prioritize something like spending time with the Holy Spirit?

Action beats intention every time.

A study in the British Journal of Health and Psychology found that 91% of people who actually planned the details of their physical exercise ended up following through with that commitment. As a Christian, cultivating your relationship with the Holy Spirit should be a high priority. The problem is in our busy world we either forget its importance or we become so distracted with everything else that it never gets done. The solution is to start with action.

Don’t just tell yourself “I’m going to spend time with God tomorrow”. Plan it.

Not just in vague terms; plan the time and the location. Some people like to use their commute; other people like to find a quiet spot at the beach or in nature. Try to avoid places that have lots of distractions. Think about the place and picture yourself there.

Now that you’ve chosen a time and location, set a reminder on your phone. This will help to remind you, but more so—the very act of setting the reminder is already a confirmation of your commitment.

Congratulations, you are on your way! God wants you to build a strong connection with the Holy Spirit, He will help you with this. So ask for His help.

Start building your relationship with the Holy Spirit right now.

  • Step 1 - Decide on a time and location that works.
  • Step 2 - Put a reminder on your phone.
  • Step 3 - Ask for God’s help.

Look at that! You’re already 3 steps along the journey! Keep going!

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." - Romans 15:13
