I made a prayer to God 2 years ago to help me become my true self and to uproot the things I thought were me but weren’t.

That short simple prayer seriously shook my life especially last year. This is because everything I thought I knew about myself was being questioned from what I believed, my personality to even my style.

I felt blank and unsure about anything anymore.

Despite this, God gradually began showing me what my potential was and who I was as a person. As things became  clearer the journey became more and more purposeful and interesting.

How to be self-aware

You see, there is a difference between getting to know the you that is a product of external influences  and getting to know the you that is the unique aspect of God… your true self.

So truth is, spending time alone and meditating does helps but only to some extent…

The rest of the process is literally God revealing to you who you are in His own way.

Why God?

First of all He created us… in great detail I may add. So He knows our 100% full potential !!

Secondly, you don’t want to use your mind that has, yes- learned a great deal of things but has also learned limitations from past experience- as the main tool for becoming self-aware because sometimes the way we think can block us from seeing the truth.

 How can I connect to God then?

1. Ask Him

When it comes to the things of God, only God can initiate the process. So first of all, ask Him and then have faith that He has heard and responded to your prayer.

The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

I know that some of you may have not experienced God in a real way and maybe some of you have asked God for a real experience but did not get it.

But don’t worry! God is real and He will come at the right time.

He is always faithful to His word.

2. Form relationships with people who are on a similar path

Look for people who are in a similar path and even those who are ahead in that path. Trust me, they really really help in making the journey easier.

This is because they help you recognize how God is working in your life because sometimes He does things in a way that we may not fully recognize.

3. Join a church, fellowship or group

Lastly, join a church, fellowship or group that definitely manifest the fruit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit because such atmospheres will help you grow more sensitive to God’s voice.

I personally always find that I hear God more clearly when I am in a fellowship.

So that is all for today. If this has helped you in any way please feel free to comment.

I would love to hear from you!
