How to Grow Your Walk with God

Growing in your walk with God is not seeing him separate from your current life.

For the past 13 years, I’ve been on this journey of faith. Along the way, I kept hearing the phrase, “Walk with God.” At first, it felt almost mystical—like something out of a dream. I’d picture myself strolling through a quiet garden at dawn, the fog gently rolling in, the dewy grass beneath my feet. In that serene space, I imagined being able to find God, talk with Him, and pour out my heart.

But over time, my view of walking with God has changed. It’s no longer this distant, magical image. Now, I see it in the every day—sipping coffee in the morning, teaching in a classroom, chatting with my sister on the phone, playing with my dog, or journaling my prayers. In all of it, God is there. Right beside me. Empowering me, shaping me, and drawing me closer to Him.

I’m far from having it all figured out. I’m no saint—and I still have a lot to learn about God's deep and powerful ways. But one thing I’ve come to understand is this: Growing in your walk with God doesn’t mean waiting until your life is perfect. It’s not about reaching some spiritual milestone or fixing that one struggle you’re dealing with. It's about recognizing that God is present right now—even in your pain, even in your questions.

When we stop seeing God as distant and start believing He’s near, everything shifts. We begin to trust Him more. And in that trust, we start to live in a new kind of freedom—not a reckless freedom, but one grounded in grace. The kind of freedom that lets you breathe, enjoy life, make decisions, and rest in the confidence that God is working it all together for good.

Walking with God begins with faith—the faith to see Him close, not far off. It grows as we invite Him into our ordinary, messy, beautiful lives. And it deepens when we give ourselves permission to experience Him, not just on mountaintops, but in the everyday moments.

So today, just take one step. Picture Him beside you in the car, at your desk, in your heartbreak, or your laughter. He’s not just watching from above—He’s walking with you, holding you up, even when you stumble.
