As Christian women entrepreneurs and business professionals, it’s easy to get swept up in the demands of deadlines, client meetings, and daily responsibilities—all while trying to balance faith, family, and personal growth.
The pressure to succeed, meet expectations, and maintain a polished brand can leave us feeling overwhelmed, spiritually drained, and disconnected from God. We know we should be praying more, reading our Bibles consistently, and seeking God’s guidance in our work, but in the busyness of life, these practices often take a backseat.
Instead of feeling spiritually fulfilled, we find ourselves running on empty—struggling to hear God’s voice, questioning our purpose, and wondering if we’re truly in alignment with His will.
But here’s the truth: To connect your heart to God’s heart, it doesn’t have to feel like another item on your to-do list.
It’s not about following a rigid set of rules but about cultivating a relationship with Him in a way that fits how He uniquely designed you.
Let me share ten practical and personalized ways to connect your heart with God’s heart—methods that go beyond traditional faith practices and integrate your spiritual growth into your daily life.
Whether you’re seeking a deeper prayer life, more peace in your business decisions, or a renewed sense of purpose, these tips will help you connect your heart to God’s heart, strengthen your faith, refocus on God, and experience His presence in a fresh, energizing way.
1. Start Your Day with God
The way you begin your morning sets the tone for everything that follows. Instead of diving into emails or social media, take time to pray, read scripture, or listen to worship music. This intentional start will help you cultivate a mindset focused on God’s presence throughout the day.
Not a morning person? Listen to recorded scripture or a faith-based podcast as you prep for your day.
2. Create a Personalized Faith Plan
God designed you uniquely, and your spiritual growth should reflect that. Consider how your personality influences how you best connect with God. Some people thrive in structured Bible study, while others feel closest to Him through creativity or movement. When your faith practices align with how He made you, your relationship with Him becomes more vibrant.
You can connect your heart to God’s heart by growing in all the areas He wants: your heart, and your soul, and your mind, and your strength. This is really your faith shape and it is very specific to how you connect to God. Take the Faith-Shape quiz and find out more.
3. Engage in Active Worship
Worship isn’t just about singing hymns and choruses on Sunday. It can be expressed through art, dance, journaling, or even a nature walk. Find ways to worship God that feel authentic to you, and you’ll experience deeper joy in His presence.
When you think ONLY about God, no matter the activity, you are worshiping.
4. Join a Like-Minded Faith Community
You weren’t meant to do faith alone. Surround yourself with other believers who inspire and challenge you. Whether it’s a small group, an online faith-based business community, or a mentorship group, having spiritual support strengthens your walk with God.
Decide what you need to stay motivated and encouraged and find that group of people.
5. Practice Gratitude Daily
A grateful heart is a heart connected to God. Keep a journal where you write down one thing you’re thankful for each day. Then write out WHY you are grateful for that thing. As you focus on His goodness, you’ll cultivate a sense of peace and trust in His plan.
Start with the little things in your life that you may sometimes overlook as things you can be grateful for, like: clean air, a full stomach, or electricity.
6. Serve Others with Your Gifts
God has given you unique talents and strengths; using them to serve others is a powerful way to stay connected to Him. Whether it’s mentoring a fellow entrepreneur or co-worker, donating your services, or volunteering in your community, serving aligns your heart with God’s love.
When you have the mindset that you are serving God when serving others, you become a beacon of His goodness no matter what you are doing.
7. Deepen Your Prayer Life
If your prayer life feels stagnant, try something new. Experiment with prayer journaling, scripture-based prayers, or even praying through worship music. Different seasons of life may call for different prayer approaches, but the goal remains the same: intimacy with God.
Prayer can be creative. Finding a way that works for you is essential for growth.
This all goes back to your faith-shape. Take the quiz to get you started.
8. Embrace Silence and Solitude
In the busyness of life, we often drown out God’s voice. Set aside time each day for quiet reflection—whether through a morning devotional, a silent retreat, or simply pausing before making decisions. God often speaks in stillness, and we must create space to hear Him.
This spiritual practice has been a game changer for me as it allows me to reflect and refocus on where God is leading me.
9. Challenge Yourself Spiritually
Growth happens when we step outside our comfort zone. Challenge yourself by reading a thought-provoking book, memorizing scripture, or fasting for spiritual clarity. When you stretch your faith, you open your heart to deeper trust and revelation.
I know these types of spiritual practices can be difficult to start, but when you know God’s design of you, you can truly make it work for you.
10. Align Your Business with Your Calling
Your business/profession is not separate from your faith—it’s an extension of your calling. Seek God’s guidance in your work, invite Him into your decisions, and use your platform and position to reflect His love. When your work aligns with His will, you’ll experience peace and purpose like never before.
I like to say, if you are so filled up with God, He can’t help but stick out all over the place in your life (and that includes your work).
Connect Your Heart to God’s Heart and Embrace a Heart Fully Aligned with God
Connecting your heart to God’s heart isn’t about adding more obligations to an already packed schedule—it’s about intentionally weaving His presence into every part of your life. When you shift your focus from doing more to being with Him, you’ll find that faith becomes a natural, life-giving rhythm rather than a burdensome task.
Whether you start with just one of these tips or embrace them all, the key is to pursue Him with an open and expectant heart.
As you create space for God in your daily routines—whether through prayer, gratitude, worship, or aligning your business with His calling—you’ll begin to experience His peace, clarity, and guidance in new and profound ways.
A Personalized Faith Plan will help you to create a structure so that your faith no longer feels like something you have to fit in but rather the foundation that fuels everything else in your life and work.
