A New Perspective with Katy Nichole
From Knowing About God to Experiencing Him
Katy Nichole, a renowned Christian music artist, shares a transformative journey of faith that redefined her relationship with God and profoundly influenced her music. In a heartfelt interview, she opens up about how writing Christian songs and prayer journaling brought her closer to God in ways she never imagined.
“The closest I’ve ever felt to God was actually when I started writing Christian songs, and I started prayer journaling.” Doing so became a revelation to Katy, providing a new avenue for her to connect with God on a deeper level.
Katy describes prayer journaling as an intimate dialogue with God, allowing her to understand Him in a more personal way. “When I started journaling in a prayer journal, I also would have my Bible next to me, and I’d just be reading through Scripture. I would be taking notes of the Scripture that I was reading and just trying to fully embrace it, asking God to give me the Holy Spirit to interpret it.”
Prayer journaling could be a game-changer for you in fostering a deeper relationship with God.
Through these practices, Katy experienced an abrupt shift. “God has just given me a whole new perspective of life through that.” The transformation influenced her music, infusing it with a depth and authenticity that resonated with her audience. It was also during this time that Katy realized she needed a genuine relationship with God to write meaningful Christian music.
Katy’s journey led to a crucial realization: knowing about God is different from knowing Him personally.
“I’ve been a Christian my whole life. I thought I knew God, but I didn’t, I knew about God, I didn’t have a relationship with God.”
Her personal relationship with God brought a new intimacy and peace that became a foundation for everything.
“Finding that relationship was when everything changed for me. It made me feel so intimate with the Lord in a way that I never thought again was possible. That gave me a peace that I needed, especially in many dark seasons.”
May Katy’s journey encourage us to explore these spiritual practices and deepen your own relationship with God.
