Do you believe in a higher power?

I grew up in a Christian family, and our faith was always expressed through family traditions. We celebrated Easter and Christmas with great trepidation and created cozy home rituals in honor of church holidays. These moments were always filled with a special atmosphere, where faith and family ties intertwined into something magical.

Over the years, I began to feel something more than just religious rituals. It seems to me that there is some higher power, the energy of the Universe, that protects us all.

Sometimes this feeling is so obvious that it seems as if this force is guiding me, helping me make decisions and putting me on the right path. Have you ever had this feeling?
I've recently been reading about various spiritual practices and philosophies and have been struck by how many different beliefs have in common. The desire for goodness, harmony and love can be seen everywhere. This got me thinking that maybe all religions are just different paths to the same ultimate truth.

I hope this deep topic will allow us to open up to each other better.
Best wishes. Natasha...
