God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.As a spirit, God courses through our physical world. Sometimes, he reveals himself to us via our natural senses, which explains why some people report seeing visions of Jesus or angels. But more often, God, as a spirit, speaks to us in the spiritual realm. It's our responsibility to extract ourselves from physical concerns and connect with that spiritual existence.
And herein lies the major problem with sin. Yes, sin imparts worldly pain on ourselves and others. But the much bigger problem with sin is that sin injects static into our spiritual harmony with God. That's why, after sinning, reconnecting with God seems so difficult.
Most sins begin with ungodly thoughts. Today, let us work to avoid sinful, earthly thoughts by praying this passage (Psalm 103:34, NLT),
May all my thoughts be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
