How can I—just a regular, limited human—possibly relate to an unlimited, infinite G-d?
I used to struggle with this question, too.
I’d feel lonely, overwhelmed, and disconnected, wondering if my human experience even mattered.
But then I learned something simple and powerful:
We don’t connect with G-d by becoming powerful or smarter. We connect by meeting G-d on G-d’s terms.
Here’s exactly how it works:
1. Awe: Like standing in front of an ocean and realizing how huge it is, awe lets your mind and heart know something bigger than yourself.
2. Love: Think about someone you care deeply about.
You naturally want what makes them happy.
Connecting with God means caring about what God desires (a relationship).
3. Yearning: Have you ever really missed someone?
Yearning means wanting closeness even if it feels beyond your reach. These feelings—Awe, Love, Yearning—build your bridge to G-d.
If you’re feeling disconnected right now, try this:
1. Pause for a moment.
2. Think about one thing bigger than yourself that fills you with wonder.
Like a type of kindness that happens, nature, etc.
3. Just feel it deeply without trying to control it.
Then silently say, “G-d, I’m here, ready to connect—even if I don’t fully understand.”
Because connection isn’t about understanding everything—it’s about being open enough to feel everything.
The takeaway:
You don’t need infinite understanding. You just need an open heart and mind. Ever felt this kind of overwhelm?
You’re not alone—let’s talk about it.
