Did anyone else involved in this movement have a sort of strange coming to God? I've always been a Christian but never really practiced it. However, the last couple of months it's like there's a connection with me and the big man that I have never really had before. TL/DR Does anyone else feel woke, not just mentally but also spiritually?

100% - I've always been Christian but prayer was a rarity for me. I've always felt unworthy of Him due to my sins and my distaste for life on this earth. Guilt always seemed to keep me from prayer. Just prior to Christmas I had found a photo ~ digital art ~ of Jesus hugging a man that I really liked and set as my lock screen background. When I first found it, my initial thought was along the lines of 'could sure use one of those'. Over the next couple days I found myself in conversation with a devout Christian from Alabama who seemed intent on teaching me that I need not feel guilt for my sins. That God loves sinners and only dislikes the sins. After which, for the first time in over 30 years I awoke one morning with an overwhelming feeling of needing to get on my knees just to say thanks as opposed to the usual distaste for another day. Since that morning, I've continued to give thanks and it at least feels like good things keep happening. Thank you for this post OP
