become more spiritual

I would like to have more spiritual literature in my home. I pray and am trying to read the bible but I just feel like I need more in my life.

God has been so good to me. I sacrificed so much just to get to know him. I love Jesus so much. I trust him and i feel that for the past year i’ve been getting closer to him. I always whisper ‘i trust you Lord’. He comforts me always even when i feel like dying. He is my hiding place whenever i’m afraid. I live for God. The spiritual connection with him is so amazing! There is no other love greater than his love. He’s like a drug. When i’m lost i always find my way back to him! I want to know him more.

I can’t live without him. Period.

I don’t think I see the same god everyone else does.
But, I believe that is what makes this goal what it is—something personal.
The search is what helps your spirituality stregthen. I have discovered that through my struggles, the truth I have stumbled upon easily overpowers any doubts. I just need to continue to revise my perception of this spirituality and translate this into religion (read: agnostic? christian? hindu? etc.)
At the same time though, I must distinguish the difference between spirituality and religion. I feel that I have been progressing—my relationship and understanding of myself has improved.

upon listening to a lecture on romanticism in poetry, I have become fascinated by the concept of nature as the divine. The split between nature and imagination, where nature unifies and is simplistic in the discovery of greater meaning (ie: our part in everything around us) and imagination is of the individual’s conception and unique ability. That God is better understood as an abstract principle representing natural law, existence, and the Universe (the sum total of all that is, was, and shall be) than an anthropomorphic entity (reason). I do not feel that this is necessarily the right spiritual path, but I am definitely looking forward to reading and exploring the works of these authors who were often of pagan, pantheistic, and christian influence.

I need to become more comfortable with who I am spiritually and religiously. I tend to avoid the subject because I feel morally conflicted (this itself emphasizes that I need to come a peace with myself). Coming from a Christian family, I have been hesitant to educate myself in other religions and discover my own spirituality. It is hard for me to explain to my support system (parents, etc.) that I cannot faithfully follow that path that I have inherited.

I want to become more spiritual. I want to meditate and to communicate with my Spirit Guides. I want to feel closer to God and I want to feel more calmness in my life.

Whenever I say spiritual people always start to go on about religion to me. For me, I do not believe in God and I don’t want to either. That’s not what this is about. I want to find something, i don’t really know how to describe it because I don’t actually know that many spiritual-religion things like Buddhism.
Could anyone help?
I just want to learn to be at peace and learn to be happy. Practice calmness and meditation and yoga and learn to not destroy my body or my spirit.
If you understand that, please let me know.

I suppose there are many ways to do this. First I want to start off by letting everyone in my life know that I appreciate themand to encourage them. Then I’d like to worry less. Thoughts ar more clear when one has a way to deal with worry. Then of course I’d like to give constant face to my goals and desires. I also would like to commit to 1,000 hrs of community service this year. I also need to place a higher value on myself and be more connected to my church family. That always makes me feel 100% better.

I feel that in this new year I want to abide in Him. For the past few months I have really started to become more connected to God. At this point in my life I’ve started to realize what I need most and that it is Him. My love for Him grows deeper and I want to learn more. He is my rock, and he gives me purpose.

I love going to Shul. I can only get my boyfriend to go with me 1 or 2 times a month. I need to start going every week again… with or without him. WE ARE NOT JOINED AT THE HIP.
