What to Do When You Can’t Feel God Anymore

Today's Scripture: Psalm 77:1–12

What do you do when you believe in God, keep showing up, and still feel nothing? Today’s Scripture gives language for spiritual desolation — the ache of crying out to God and not feeling comforted. This episode helps you bring honest questions to God, understand why distress can make it hard to feel what you know, and practice remembering when God feels far away. You’ll learn:
*Why not feeling God does not mean you are outside the life of faith
*How Psalm 77 gives permission for honest questions
*Why distress can narrow your sense of what is true
*How remembering becomes a practice of spiritual reorientation
*What to do when faith feels more like an ember than a flame
