When God Feels Far Away

Lately, it’s been hard to reach God.
Hard to pray. Hard to worship. Hard to feel Him near.

I know faith is a relationship one filled with highs and lows but lately, it feels like I’ve been sitting in the “low” for a long time. I still wake up and talk to Him, but sometimes it feels like my words are hitting a wall. I know He hears me, but I just don’t feel Him right now.

Business has been slow.
The hats haven’t sold like I hoped.
And I’ve been applying for jobs with little to no response.

It’s hard not to take it personally to wonder if maybe I’ve missed something or taken a wrong turn somewhere.
But deep down, I know this: God is still here. Even when He feels far.

🌿 The Quiet Seasons

We don’t often talk about these quiet seasons of faith, the ones that test you more than they reward you.
When prayers go unanswered.
When purpose feels uncertain.
When the thing you thought would work, doesn’t.

And yet, these are the very moments that stretch our trust.

Maybe God isn’t ignoring me.
Maybe He’s preparing me.
Maybe He’s silent because He’s shifting something inside of me that words can’t fix.

Still, it’s hard.
And I won’t pretend it’s not.

🌾 A Simple Prayer

Lord, I need You.
I need Your direction.
I need a miracle.
I need You to remind me that I’m not forgotten.
Some days, I feel so lost and unsure of what’s next.
But even in this, I choose to trust You.
Lead me back to You, step by step, breath by breath.

🌸 What I’m Learning

I’m learning that trust doesn’t always feel strong.
Sometimes trust looks like showing up when you’re tired.
Sometimes it’s sending another email, writing another blog, saying another prayer even when you don’t see results.

Faith isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it’s quiet, heavy, and trembling… but it’s still faith.

So if you’re in that place too where God feels distant, and you feel lost
you’re not alone.

We’re still here, still believing, still trusting.
Because even in the silence,
He’s still God.
And He’s still providing manna, even in the desert. 🌾
