Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

I broke from St. John, who had followed, and would have detained me. It was my time to assume ascendency. My powers were in play and in force. I told him to forbear question or remark; I desired him to leave me: I must and would be alone. He obeyed at once. Where there is energy to command well enough, obedience never fails. I mounted to my chamber; locked myself in; fell on my knees; and prayed in my way—a different way to St. John's, but effective in its own fashion. I seemed to penetrate very near a Mighty Spirit; and my soul rushed out in gratitude at His feet. I rose from the thanksgiving—took a resolve—and lay down, unscared, enlightened—eager but for the daylight.

In this excerpt from Jane Eyre, Jane shifts from relying on St. John to finding God herself. The first idea is expressed by the following phrase of the excerpt: "I broke from St. John". Then, she explains that she prayed in her way, uttering prayers from the depth of her soul. She had an experience of a "Mighty Spirit" and thanks God. That idea is expressed in the phrases: "I seemed to penetrate very near a Mighty Spirit; and my soul rushed out in gratitude at His feet." This last expresses the fact that she herself found God.
