Dear MG03:

You wrote: “By connecting to God, I simply mean where I am able to talk to him in my mind and where I can feel peace whenever I think of him”-

I am not religious but I like these biblical quotes regarding god and peace of mind. It may help you to read and re-read (and maybe memorize) before going to bed, or when you get up in the morning, or anytime in between. Read or repeat any of these  slowly, let the words sink in and spread peace in your mind and heart:

Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness.”

Corinthians 4: “We have small troubles for a while now, but they are helping us gain an eternal glory that is much greater than the troubles. We set our eyes not on what we see but on what we cannot see. What we see will last only a short time, but what we cannot see will last forever.”

Matthew 6: “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them… And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?”

Philippians 4: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.. whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me- practice these things and the God of  peace will be with you.”
