Trusting the Holy Spirit: A Journey of Faith and Growth

Over the past few weeks, I’ve explored the benefits of having faith in college and how to build a strong foundation for a lasting relationship with God. While the behind-the-scenes efforts and surrounding yourself with like-minded people have both internal and external benefits, one of the most important is the strengthening of the Holy Spirit within you.

The Holy Spirit can be a confusing concept. Have you ever felt the urge to do something, only to talk yourself out of it, later regretting not following through? That inner prompting is the Holy Spirit at work. It often serves as a warning before destruction, guiding you and protecting you. This urge is a divine connection to God, designed to lead you toward His will.

As you nurture your relationship with God, you’re also feeding the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, this inner voice will push you beyond your comfort zone, encouraging you to take action and do good in the world. The more you listen to the Holy Spirit, the easier it becomes to recognize and understand its guidance, helping you become your best self and stay aligned with God’s path for you.

I challenge anyone reading my recent articles to seek the Spirit within intentionally. When faced with decisions, take a moment to pause and seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Or, when carrying out your daily tasks, if you feel a prompting to do something kind for someone else, listen and experience the joy that comes with it.
